Picked up a nice triangular shaped wire mesh Weiand air filter at a swap meet. The foam filter needs replacing. The hole in the bottom fits my single barrel Rochester perfectly. After I replace the foam filter are there any pros or cons on using this on my old truck? Just wanted to replace the oil bath cleaner for now.

Pray to god there's never a carburetor backfire cause it will melt the foam, and then it will get sucked down into the engine. They do look kinda cool though. Later

There's usually a couple of pieces of wire that hold the foam...when the foan gets blasted with a backfire it will melt. Been there done that got the t-shirt. Later
