Smoking problem fixed!

Well I do need to say my hands on experience with K&N is a bit more positive. About 1990 I went with a single Holley 830 double pump on my street hemi. Used one of those gold moroso air cleaners and a K&N filter. That Carb was brand new and Carb and filter stayed on that engine until I pulled it bout 2 years ago. I never saw signs of dirt getting past the filter. Plenty of dirt trapped by the filter. Think I cleaned the filter bout 5 times. Went thru maybe 1.5 cans of oil. This was over a 20 year period. That hemi was still strong until a valve started sticking and I pulled it. That filter I squeezed into an oval on a homemade base and lid and now it filters 2 750 double pumps on a tunnel rammed hemi I swapped in place of the old one. 20 years,not bad. Tell you what,my thing is with fuel filters,,,
