REFLECTOR: Franklin Engine Air Filter

[nmflyer1 at aol.com]

Good Shot Brett, 



By the way, I want my dust back!? It blew over there from the spring winds in NM. 



I ended up fabricating a filter system for my V-6 using a K&N filter from Summit racing. In fact, I bought an entire "Cool Air Kit" from Summit for a 5.0L ford. I had to cut it apart &* make some modifications, but it was faster than starting from scratch. 



The one thing I do not have, and hope I do not need, is a valve to switch from filtered to unfiltered air.

Seriously, I heard once that you guys were just "dust in the wind"

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.  Hey, I notice that we don't have a picture of 
173WJ in the wiki, care to send in a picture?
