 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.
