In the same light, I use Wix air filters on the Bugeye (incorrect HS2
carbs). Same fit as the stocks or the NAPA that the PO had on when I
picked the car up, but twice as high. They look great, have about twice
the surface area. Pick up the longer bolts at Ace. $2/filter, maybe $2
for the 4 bolts. I forget the first digit, but the last four are "2372"
(too lazy to look right now). First time I bought them, the boys at the
parts counter had a ball with the cross-ref for a Toro ride on mower
filter.
