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

Tue Jul 9 08:59:23 MDT 2019

The 1.75 MGB K&N Tapered Filters Moss # 222-995 will fit perfectly with one slight modification to the front filter.

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
