I read somewhere here that I could use a 73 air filter assembly on my 72 1.7 liter. If I understand correctly the 73 air filter uses a paper filter instead of being an oil bath assembly? I just responded to an ad in the classifieds for an air filter assembly from a 73 2.0 liter. Would that assembly work on my 72 1.7 liter and is it a paper filter type? Any help/insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,Bub |

The 2L air filter will work on a 1.7. However, you must use the bracket that mounts to the intake runners, 2L plenum,and the 2L throttle body. Then you must modify the runners to fit the 2L plenum, and lengthen the wires to the tps, and ts1.
Or, get the late 1.7 filter assy. |
