Default Re: Air filter for Model A

The last thing that I would want is Gasoline drenched ABS plastic that close to my exhaust.

If you are using a filter with the downdraft carbs I would only consider using a filter that is above the carburetor. If you have a small leak and it accumulates into the filter then you have a dangerous hazard with it right next to the exhaust.

If it couldn't be above the carb then I would go without. My opinion.
