Does anyone have an passenger car E code factory or replacment aircleaner element that they could measure for me?  I found two big Purolators and cut one and added a section from the other for my car.  I measured what I have and it is about 17" OD, 15" ID and 3" high.  I found a K&N big round filter that is 17" OD, 14.5" ID and 3.5" high.  It is an #E-3813, and costs about $61.00,  I want to be sure it will fit, and that the extra height won't cause a clearence problem.  I think I would need a little more length in the carb retaining screws, one is screwed almost completely out now.  I have to do some more careful measuring and check the hood to aircleaner cleanence too.

Thanks,

I have an original passenger car air filter.Not T Bird-Passenger car air filter.

It measures 17 5/16 O.D.

It measures 15 on the I.D.

Its 2" tall.

Be very careful as that extra inch will probably cause clearence issues under a Birds hood.

Also those carb studs being out that far could dent the hood if the hood accidently got slammed shut.

Hope this helps.

Old Mics,

Thanks for the info.  My present arrangement is 3" high and clears everything fine, I am concerned about the extra 1/2 inch.  The 14.5" ID of the K&N may not work.  Are you using the passenger car element?  if not, I would be interested in buying it.

Thanks,
