Steve,

I, too, bought a K&N cleanable - re-oil able, air filter by K&N from 
sunbeam Specialties. Got the K&N oil, as well.  I wished it were just a 
little thicker, as there is room even with an F4B high-rise and a 4 BBL 
465 Holly.   There are numbers all over the part, so I called K&N.

They have absolutely no application information on the size, as they 
kept wanting me top buy a "Universal" round filter and squeeze the 
rubber to match.  Rick's is already the correct oval size.  The rubber 
numbers seem to be the original feed stock part the unit is assembled 
from, NOT the filter.

I am not too sure what you mean by a "bit too small", because it fits 
the air cleaner trays fine.  I just wanted a little thicker.

So, unless you are putting a RAM CHARGER scoop on your hood, leave it 
alone, and buy Rick's.

I appear to be the only one h=who has the correct answer for your 
question - "There is no correct answer!"

(9-)

Then, you can always steal Santa's red hat/sock
 and use it - just look what his flying reindeer can do with  that!


Steve

Happy Holidays
