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 |

Thanks for the responses. I think I'll pass on the 2.0 and keep my eyes peeled for a 1.7 assembly.
