Time for the obvious question... Does the air cleaner clamshell fit together tightly when there is no filter inside? Yeah, I know. But someone has to do it.

Interesting stuff here. I will add a few OE air filter pics, from the parts that came with my recent purchase of #957, a 1/70 HLS30. It came with a pickup load of spare parts. Some of which are early OEM items. This air cleaner is the early part number 16546-E3210. Not related to this topic but I have to share this pic of two packages of OE spark plugs, NGK in Nissan branded packaging, 10 plugs per package.

Please disregard my filter, I had a 72 box and old A/C in my hoard and it has the large filter too. That seems to fit well in the box. The rubber seal is petrified so it does not compress, I see that it would though. So it looks right. Also now that I compare my new and old filters the new one I mentioned is smaller in all aspects. L x W x H So maybe it is for another application. A Roaster Solex car perhaps Like I mentioned it was a swap meet purchase. That puts Inline6 back at post one, why won't his filter fit???

Wild. I found this on the motorsport auto site - it looks to me that the genuine filters are too tall now.
