AIR CLEANER INFORMATION
By Dale Burkhardt
Reprinted from the 1982 Club News Volume VIII Number III

As Larry Shepard from Direct Connection once told me about technical articles: “The most important numbers are the part numbers.” Here is as complete a list as my research could uncover. Incidentally, fully 30% of these numbers did not appear in parts books.
