[Healeys] K&N air filters for an early 3000.

[Bruce Steele]

You can also modify the front filter to offset it so that it mounts closer to the carb.  This was engineered by Steve Gerow.  It’s a bit of work.  I used this on my car with good results though I used a dryer vent clamp for my ring rather than aluminum window flashing as per Steve’s plans—it was already the right width.  See attached for Steve’s plans and a photo of the finished back side of the housing.

They will not fit between the front carb and the shroud.

 

You can install the 1.75 Tapered filters 222-995 for the MGB. Then turn the front one upside down and drill two holes in the plate for the breather holes.

Living in a dusty area (dirt roads), I am thinking about replacing stock air filters with K&N units. 

 

Moss has three possible filters for the 1.75 in., twin-carb, ’59 3000.  They vary in depth with two pancake units of 1¾ in. deep and 3 in. deep and one tapered 2 1/5 in. deep.

 

K&N recommends 56-9247 that is a pancake being 2 in. deep and 6 in. diameter.

 

I would appreciate any input regarding what has worked well for folks and what to avoid.  Thanks, Bill
