  2. What does your air filter bracket look like? Round or straight?

    Yeah, mine’s the year before with an oil bath, and has a flat circular shelf for it to sit on - presumably oil-filled needing more support than paper-filled.
     
  8. I believe 1974 was the changeover year from oil bath to paper element.
     
  9. Okay so would standard paper 1 be better than pancake filter that's on there ?

  10. Paper element air filters were fitted from 1975 model year onwards, so from Aug 74
     
  11. Yes

  13. You will have preheated air so less chance of manifold icing also your breathers will be connected up properly

  14. That’s the bracket for the later plastic airbox and paper filter. Don’t understand how you’ve got an oil bath filter on there at the moment. Or have you?

  16. If you’re going back to original, you’ll need to find the large plastic airbox and fittings that sit on that bracket. They are around.
