Daliant. Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Your straight eight might make you sorry you went to a paper air filter as you accelerate up to speed! Bob How come? I have an oil bath converted to paper filter on my 318 and it flows plenty of air, granted it's the bigger v8 filter housing but as long as the paper element isn't too small for the engine or to big for the housing that it blocks air flow it should be fine.

Dodgeb4ya Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 The eights make one heck of a sucking noise with out the air cleaner on. The BIG oil bath air cleaner housing keeps the obnoxious vacuum cleaner noise down. The oil soaked fiber matting, 50W oil and shape/mass of the air cleaner housing all help to quiet a noisey chrysler eight. The sixes are not nearly as bad. The paper air filter and air cleaner design change after converting over to a paper element might cause quite a bit of sucking sound increase with your 323 ci. eight. There is nothing bad about an oil bath air cleaner other than maybe changing the oil in it every 5 years. They do work rather well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
