What do you recommend when the stock filters can't be used. For example, my
'57 MGA has an early B (18G) engine which might prefer to breath through
stock air filters. However, there is no way to fit those big mushrooms under
the hood. The DPO used "MGA-like" flat filters (I think they're really
Volvo), but I wonder if there's a better way.
Other MGA owners with B engines? Do most use standard MGA air filters,
K&N's, or others with no built-in velocity stack?
Thanks in advance.
