[Spridgets] Air Filters

[Michael Rowe]

My car came with wire-mesh air filters similar to VB 9-103.  They are 5.75" in diameter.  I found some cheap Fram paper filters with the right diameter, but they are very tall.  Any thoughts on what car might use a 5.75" filter that is about 3-4" tall?  

We can no longer go to the parts store and ask what choices there are in a 5.75" filter.  Yesterday, a guy told me he went in to find a plastic bug guard for his truck grill, and the counter guy asked him if it were manual or automatic transmission!
