Hi all, I'm looking for an engine air filter for my '70 1.7 liter, can't seem to find it and no place has it in stock. I had ordered a NapaGold Air Filter Part #: FIL 2011 on reading some old threads here but the quality control of those filters is garbage and moreover the top of the airbox wouldn't fit over the top of the filter. Those of you who are 1.7 owners, what do you use? It it easer to just switch to a CAI setup? Thanks all

A stock 1970 1.7 has an oil bath air filter, which is a very effective filtration system. I would suggest that you stick with the setup that was designed for your car.

Dbl post....

This really opened up the engine well.

If it’s a stock housing for a 1970

It is oil bath

Meaning oil is the filter inside the box.
No paper
Works well

and the oil bath works much better than the setup seen above

Ohhh I see, I was under the misconception that it was something else entirely, thank you so much.

I haven’t had one since around 2003
But they work well

I don’t remember how much the capacity is
So meone on this thread will know

Gotcha okay, I will for sure need to ask around because the oil fill line on my airbox has worn completely away. Are there any dangers to accidentally overfilling it?
