I just bought an original Mr. Norm's A/C from a member here. Does anybody know what element was used. I gave K & N the dimensions and they do not have anything close they said.I know from having an original one years ago they used a filter that was available back then from a already produced filter. It is smaller than the Shelby Mustangs used.
Trying to finish a custom application. Any help greatly appreciated.

is it the six pack (tri-power) cleaner? if so, this might help: tri-power if not, this topic suggests cutting down a k&n filter, to make it fit. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=6518983&Main=6456643

No, it is not a sixpack air filter. Cutting down a filter is the only option that I know of.


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

This may seem like the OBVIOUS answer-
Mr. Norm is still in 'business' so to speak-

I'd shoot him an email/message and see what he says.
He may be sitting on a stockpile of them!

Good Luck,
CC.

Give these a try. So far, no one has gotten back and said they work, or not. If you give them a try and find out one way or another, there are alot of people that would like a diffinative answer. I myself took a Baldwin PA632 (under $20) and cut it down to fit. I had to trim it several times to get it right. I always have the seam in the back, towards the firewall so its harder to see. I made sure to have an overlap of the mesh bigger then the paper element, and used black RTV to seal the seams on top and bottom. After trimming it to size, I taped up the mesh in place, applied some RTV, wet my fingure and used it to smooth the RTV. Took a couple of trys, but finally got it to where I thought it was good enough.

Remember, when cutting it, work slowly, as you can always take more off, and never put it back on. I bought 2 filters just in case, and it turned out good. But, it was a learning experience and the second one will be better. The Baldwin filter if fairly cheap$$$, and MADE IN THE USA!!!

K&N E2866---2.5" tall
K&N E1960---2" taller then factory
K&N E1963---1" taller then factory

As I said, I have NOT personally checked to see if these are the correct size, or if they will clear under everyones applications. If you find any results, either way, please let all of us know.
(I also heard these K&N filters are round, but have to be formed to fit air filter housing.)

Hi Guy's, K & N tech line was not much help. I appreciate everyones input. Getting frustrated I went to a performance parts place in Garden City, Mich. I ended up using a K & N E1650. It was $43.00 It is round and it fit around and formed to the oval top and bottom with out any cutting at all. It is a little taller and it fit tight. I will get some pics tomorrow. This was a 340 T/A engine and Six Pack set up installed in a Lil Red Express truck and I added a Bouchillion A/C kit that fit nice also. The Air Cleaner was the last piece of the puzzle. Hope this helps someone else out in the future also. I spent four days with phone calls trying different element manufacturers as I did not want to cut one down to fit. This site is the best.

Thanks to all who applied.
Dean

Hey Dean, thanks for passing on the results you found. Was wondering tho, was there any you tried that definately did not work? That info would benefit us too. Will keep that number for future referance. What color was the filter you got to fit? Any pictures of it? Thanks again!!!
