It should be plastic lnot the metal one. OK, thanks. I thought the 1.7 was metal, the 1.8 was plastic, and the 2-L was the big square metal one. Im not sure if I have an early or late 73. The numbers that are supposed to be in the front trunk, and in the rear trunk are missing. Both trunks have been sprayed with "bed liner" I cannot find/see the engine number either. I have looked at the area where it is supposed to be, but cannot see anything. |

I have looked at the area where it is supposed to be, but cannot see anything. The earlier 1.7s (70-72) use a metal oil bath filter. 1973 1.7s they changed to a round plastic filter. 1.8s use a square plastic filter housing. The issue with the 73 round plastic housing is finding the proper filter elements for it. You can use the earlier metal filter as they are interchangeable however it would not be "correct" for the year. |

And the round air filters for the 73 1.7L are not easy to find, but I did eventually find them available from NAPA, part #2909. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
