Early 64 300 horse

Does anyone know where I can get a correct heat stamped foam air filter element. It used to be available from Long Island.
I checked Zip they do not have them??
Thanks Vince

Those filters aren't very good at removing dirt. The GM replacement back in '68 if not before was the cellulose AC A353C, but I think they are long out of production. Any quality cellulose filter is better for driving, like the NAPA Gold 2070 or the Baldwin PA10354. Save the foam junk for judging.

Also, that dual snorkel air cleaner is very restrictive. A dyno test with the bad new will be posted here soon.

An easy fix is the Baldwin PA2009. It's about the same ID and OD as the A353C, but is about 1/2" taller, so it raises the air cleaner lid to form an open annulus between the base and lid that should pretty much eliminate the dual snorkel restriction. Verification that it fits under the hood will be available soon. You many need a new standoff with a longer top section to screw on the lid.
