Lonnie,
The K&N part number is E-1960 ... there's a 3" high version of this filter, E-1963, that I happen to have and because of a manifold change, it will no longer fit under the hood. If you can...

A little over a year ago, I had the leaking front seal on my transmission replaced. Less than three thousand miles later, the seal is leaking again. Any thoughts one why it failed so soon?? Inquiring...

I also gave up on using the Percy's split lock bolts. There wasn't enough clearance to get a twelve point socket on some of the bolt heads. I'm back to six point bolts drilled for safety wire.

Jim, thanks for the assistance. I'm going to replace all the cables and hopefully solve my hot starting problem.
