powerHOUSE Jul 15th, 00, 01:29 PM The one i think would be good but havent tried one would be the baldwin ive heard a lot of good things about them. Right now i have a tough guard fram filter. Buckeye Jul 15th, 00, 01:36 PM I use Purolator PureOne filters. It's a step up from there regular filter. They seem to work fine on my 1969 396 SS and my TransAm. I think here in Ohio they cost $7 or $8. http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=424666&a=3131121 cardude Jul 15th, 00, 03:08 PM Check this website out.

AC delco is also good. never used AC delco but have had all good comments on them. RickD Jul 16th, 00, 12:54 AM I had come across that site a while ago. Interesting. I cut apart a Fram - what junk. I use Mobil 1 ( when on sale ) or AC Delco. Cheap protection. Oh yes, I also use sunthetic - Mobil 1 in my case but Amsoil and Redline are good too. JWA Jul 16th, 00, 01:40 AM I run the AC delco filter on all my rigs(4). Never had a problem. Walmart sells the filter(PF35) for $2.44 that the dealer sells for $6.95. Until I traded the burb for a 98 pickup all my rigs used the same filter. It kept things easy. ------------------ Jeff 69 SSRS 396(roller 427 :D ) My Chevs (http://www.tcg158.homestead.com) davidpozzi Jul 16th, 00, 06:10 AM We use the Baldwin filters on all our fleet. Over 30 units from pickups to tractors. I have not cut any apart but they seem to work very well. I have noticed the AC and Baldwin air filters are very good. When you get an inferior air filter you can tell quickly on the farm, the carb gets dirty quickly. With the AC or Baldwin the choke blade stays clean like new.

(remember, keep that GM car all GM) http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif Another brand of mention that you don't see around the small stuff is Donaldson. They are the pioneers in filtration. (They actually developed the very first air filter housing!) They are the OE supplier for CAT as well as 90% of the heavy truck mfg's. ------------------ 67 Camaro LS6 454/TH400/12bolt 3.73 1989 TransAm 5.7L WS6 W/all the options | ||
