K'N air filter #

[guy_geo]

I'm looking at the parts on K'N air filter.

I found the part # 56-1410 for Sus.

Is it 2 parts, one for each carb, or is an oval shape like the OEM box?

Or does someone knows the # for the drop-in K'N???

Any other brand of filter to suggest?

[guy_geo]

Did someone put a K'N drop in air filter instead of the OEM air filter in the box?

Any clue guys?

I have a K&N filter that fits in the original air cleaner but I don't know what the part number is. I'll have to look around and see if I can find the box it came in. It may take a day or two to find it in my "little shop of horrors".

Merci, No hurries.

The car is still in storage BTW.. will be out next friday if everything works well!!!

Cold weather is killing me....:sick:

I couldn't find the box it came in but the filter has a number C165A8 on it. Hope that helps.

BTW, when I put the filter in the stock air cleaner the cover would not close completely, I guess the filter is just a little to wide or the gaskets are too thing. It only had an 1/8 inch gap, but it just looks a little funny if you look at it, otherwise it's hard to notice.

OK, any problems because of the little (embonpoint) oversize like dust, sand getting inside the air filter box because of that?or ???

thanks:eek:

I doubt you'll get much more dirt in the air filter if it doesn't seal the way mine did. Actually it might allow more air into the filter so maybe it isn't a bad deal after all. Of course, just because mine didn't allow the cover to seal against the backing plate of the air cleaner doesn't mean yours won't, it may have been just a little variation in the filter when they made it.

Guy_geo,

Did you find the right K&N filter, and did it create a gap as well? I'm just wondering because I'd like to do the same.

Thanks,

Chris

Sorry, can't help you right now, my car is still in storage, the trabsaction for buying it is not completed again also...

But I will do it as soon as I got it!!

I'll keep you update for sure.

I have been using a Volvo filter on my '72 roundtops, which fit directly to the carb via bolts I got at the local hardware store. They work well but are paper filters and don't last that long at $28 for a set. These are about 3 or 4 inches deep and allow decent air flow but I think I would do better with a foam type filter because I have to keep my jets leaned out (1/2 to 3/4 turn) or I blow alot of black smoke. Does anyone out there run individual foam filters and if so what type are they? Who supplies them?

I was looking this up for my own benefit...

www.carparts.com lists a part number of E-2910 for the filter for '70-'72 240. Price is $50.82.

They also list a part # of E-2900 for the '73-74 240,260. I didn't see what the price was.

I dropped a K&N that I ordered from MSA into my airbox which is from a 71 and it fit perfect.
