Robert, doesn't that seem like a contradiction? Either it
stands up to the aerodynamic load, which has to get
transferred _somewhere_, or it doesn't, eh? No matter, it
still sounds like a good idea. Might get in the way of using
a trolley jack in the garage, though. :-)

Shouldn't it be a blue one, and a Series II? "Underneath de
mango tree, me-honey".
Oh, that's Jamaica, not the Bahamas. Wrong movie, wrong island.

Aye, but while I've never had a car with an oil-bath air
cleaner, the K&N seems to be another level of technology
altogether; the oil being applied to the fabric base material
of the filter. You're not the only one from whom I've heard
concerns from on the filterability of K&N's, though. But, in
the absence of test data to the contrary, I'll keep on using
them. I'm not really sure how the old oil-bath filters even
worked, although I recall one being opened up when I was a
kid, and the inside was filled with (surprise) oil that had
collected the road dust, etc. Gross!
I don't think I'd like the non-period "look", but I guess we
could run trunking from the carb to a remotely-mounted "cone
filter" like the kids do on Hondas and Nissans. We might need
two of them, and space is at a premium under the hood (but
some of us are running around w/out the factory washer
bottles and/or expansion tanks, I recall), but it might get
more and colder air to someone looking for that extra couple of HP.
