fuel and air filters

Post by krasmu »

I know I've seen this but darned if I can find it. "I'm really computer challenged". Are there conversion numbers for a compatible fuel filter that I may pick up at an Autozone? Is there one for the air filter as well? I'm having trouble finding these two items around my place. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I have found that the best bang for the buck is to use the John Deere fuel filter John Deere - Part #AM116304 which fits without any modification and only costs around $6.

That is what I use. Fram, from what i hear, isn't the same quality of filter it used to be. I use the K&N filter for oil (K&N # KN401 $9.99 at Cycle Gear, 06/2014 - includes required o-rings $11 at Amazon(Aug'15)) and the cleanable one for air. I would have to look that one up (from a chevy it think), but I have K&N air filters on my Dodge Cummins, my wife's Vn800a Vulcan and my '03 Voyager. I clean them twice a year unless I go thru an unusually dust event or roads (i try to avoid the dusty dirt roads down here in Arizona). You have to save the plastic frame from the old air filter and then adapt (trim) the Fram or the K&N to fit.
Enjoy

I picked up the air filter for the 87 Camaro but it is to small. Are you guys breaking them apart and inserting the Camaro filter element into the housing of the OEM filter?

you must trim about 1/8 inch off width and length and then you must take the original equipment filter and gut it so you have just the plastic frame.
Then you must insert the Camaro Filter into the frame and silicone it in place.

Didn't take long to figure out how to cut things down and make this work. Thank for the replies.
