gonna do like everyone else has (mostly) and replace the oilbath cleaner, but i'm going to use K&N so i get freeflowing...no need to replace...and lifetime warranty and still has 'oil' lol.

same top as everyone else has used...you can get it on ebay cheaper...but i went local....edelbrock 10" breather...only need the top.

they have generic ones on ebay for 10 less with no markings, i may do this.

the K&N filter i used originally was too tall...was looking at JW's blog and had 3.5" in my mind and forgot about his being a different breather.

packardpanther says 2 5/8 closest K&N is 2 9/16 other wise it's too tall at 2 3/4.

edelbrock breather top and K&N E1095 filter.

i redid the headers. brushed them down with steel wool and repainted....then baked via the instructions in my home oven (yes it stunk a bit...but it went away) wife was tolerant. 250 for 30 min cool for 30 min 400 degree same time....600 (only got 550) same time. etc etc.

pics are when they came right out of the oven last temp.

not much going on. can't really afford the jetcoat. too many irons...
