The local Oreillyauto can not get the Wix 33030 filter. Does it cross to a specific vehicle fit? Perhaps there is a Fram number out there?

I recently added an air filter from Snyders or Bratons, can't remember. The air filter is made to fit works well and has a metal element. I have been told that an air filter of any kind is too restrictive and can make the engine run too rich. The carburetor (Zenith) is not designed to have the...

Anyone use Amsoil severe gear 250w? I use that in my Harley.
