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.

when the k&n filters are no longer reddish pink it's time to go thru the cleaning hassle. soak to clean, AIR dry, oiling (but not too much. just right). i've seen plenty of k&Ns that were BLACK. "you need to clean and oil your filters", "why? they're k&Ns". when you have to run out and buy a NEW bottle of oil after doing 1 filter that's a hassle. for about the same price as the bottle you can purchase a new set of paper filters without the tops and bases.
