[DeTomaso] QUESTION DOG BONE AIR CLEANER

[Mark McWhinney]

Testing done by the Houston (?) club a few years ago, showed that it might
not be necessary.  My vague memory is that they measure the difference
between one dog bone filter and no filter at all at only 1 HP.  

(Side questions for the group: how accurate are chassis dynos to be able to
measure that closely?)

Also, the taller cleaner will may cause clearance problems for the engine
screen.

The filter is readily available from K&N; chances are there is a part number

stamped into the edge of your existing filter, but if not you can take the 
measurements and track it down that way.

An appropriate length bolt (or stud) can be found in your local hardware 
store.   Bring the old one with you, have a proper measurement in mind, go
look 
for the worker with the silver hair and he'll know right where you need to
go to 
find the replacements. :>)
