And Mike Mauro I'd love to buy your Greenbrier, but I promised myself a  
garage first.

I really  appreciate all the comments on leaking ail filters.  I've  shown  
them all to my wife who no longer thinks I'm eccentric for buying  all  
those 
PF4s from Trak Auto before they went out of  business.  She just  wishes 
I'd 
sell all my running wrecks and  buy someone's finished car.

Well, starting back  in 1972, when I  first started with Corvairs,  the AC 
PF-4 fit  all my Corvairs without  leaking; as did all the, then, current   
day 
aftermarket filters. From  1960, through 1969, other than  changing the  
angle 
of the generator  vs alternator mounting  boss, the oil filter mounting  
configuration  remained identical  year-to-year. Ditto for the AC angle  
adaptor...  
the  sealing surfaces have the same engineering features as the   non-air  
conditioned filter adaptor. Any filter, intended for Corvair use,   should  
fit 
and not leak when installed with reasonable care.  After  39 years, I 
believe  
I can change a Corvair   filter.

Cheers!
Mike  Mauro
