I think Mahle, or Bosch, or one of those other brands, that used to signal quality.

you don't specify which engine, but just use an OEM paper filter from any of the usual places.

unless you're racing, where if your class allows, you may want to spring for fabbing up a cone style filter in a cooler place than stock to get that last 1-hp.

OH. Where'd I get '72? Oh, well. The paper panel air filter (Mann, Mahle) offers the best filtration and the most square inches of filter medium. The Cap'n
