Currently have a factory 914-6 air cleaner on the 3.0 in my 74 conversion. Question for the group is which system breathes better, the factory system or the K&N filters? I like the look of the two filters with the watershields but if the factoy system is better performance wise I guess I should stick with it? Please advise.

There have been tons of tests done and the K&N does not make much difference except being much louder. Personally I loved the sound of Webers with K&N air cleaners and a bursch quiet muffler. The intake sounds like a leman's race car. I used to drive back and forth in the Alameda tunnel just to listen to it. My current 3.2 with DME is quite boring in comparison.
