two fours air filter elements

[bobs62409]

Anyone have a source for original two four barrel air filter elements. They measure 17 inches round and have an outer circumference tab on the upper edge of the filter. I've not found any! Thanks for any ideas. Bob

Also has anyone noted that an open filtered air cleaner works better than the large closed one?

It[an open element filter] makes more noise but may not make it any faster.I've seen many cars that sounded faster with open headers but were actually slower than when going thru the exhaust.Clocks don't lie.

I ordered one from rock auto and it fits great except that the rubber part was thicker than the original so I had to bend the lip up and it allowed the filter to sit in the housing all the way.

Damn Don. I always thought Mom and Dad's car went faster with the air cleaner off.

We just flipped the lid and leave the hood on the safety catch.

We didn't do the hood with the safety latch, but on my dads wagon we did flip the air cleaner lid. It was fast enough for my brother to run it into a pole or tree. Never did find out which one Made a nice round dent back to the engine

Doesn't the dual quad air cleaner use the same element as the tripower?If so any parts outlet that handles hastings or baldwin filters should be able to order them in,I know they were available in both brands as of a few months ago because I got some of each and they weren't terribly expensive less than $20 depending on the source.Just cross reference the the AC part # which is A59C to the hastings or baldwin part #.
