When I got my S3 it was fitted with a sort of home made air filter directly on top of the carburettor. I want to replace it with the correct type. It is a 1976, 2.25 petrol, NZ import. A web search for 1976 underbonnet shots yields photos of both the round paper filter in the cake tin housing on top of the carb and also the oil bath/snurgly hose type.
Can anyone enlighten me as to which type is correct for that year, or is it a free for all and I can fit whatever I like?
A PO has also removed the battery box and replaced it with a simple steel platform with no edges, so if there was originally an oil bath, the holder for it has gone. I do have a source for both the cake tin and oil bath filters, so it's no bother to get either one fitted.
Thanks in advance.
