I've got the Mopar air cleaner and I'm running a the Mopar(K&N)3.5" X 12.75"
filter part #5249012. The problem with it is that it fit OK when it was new,
but after it was washed it shrunk even more, now it's a very tight fit and
it looks too small for the drop base, also they use a separate breather
instead of the kind that is attached to the air cleaner, this always no
matter how many different ones I tried, created oil blow by out through the
fill cap on the valve covers, I've since switched back to a Edelbrock with
the attached breather and have had zero problems. Anyway I hope this helps.
