I believe that Gary was taking some round filters and reshaping them to oval.

They DO fit in the gold oval air cleaners on my car....I have the intake set up from a 300 H that was installed on my 67 300 by the selling dealer.? I just received a pair from Gary. My car is not here at the moment. BUT two years ago, I placed the same order with Gary and the filters fit fine. They have a WIX part number on them....42030. I'll go downstairs in a minute and measure the dimensions. I can't possibly understand why they would not fit on the 58, 59 and 62 413 Chrysler 300's. I'll post again in a minute with the dimensions...... -----Original Message----- From: MARCIA H CLOER <skyhawk@xxxxxxxxx> To: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; James <jdelrae1@xxxxxxx>; Gloria Moon <agmoon@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sun, 6 Apr 2008 5:37 pm Subject: Re: [Chrysler300] Re: Oval Air Filters Mopar Part # 1852569 is the correct air filter for 58-59-62 413 engines with 2-4 barrel in-line carburetors. It is 2.5 inches high, approx. 11 inches in length, and 6.5 inches wide. According to a website I stumbled on, a filter company in Izmir, Turkey has it listed in their competitor interchange as BF 456 H, for application in Chrysler products.But the picture I clicked on shows a filter that is square, not oval, and shaped more like a furnace filter, only smaller. Given the errors in translation on the page, they may have just put the wrong picture in. Any members living in Turkey? ----- Original Message ----- From: Gloria Moon To: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; James Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2008 1:51 PM Subject: Re: [Chrysler300] Re: Oval Air Filters Hi Group, I've always wondered if it would be okay to slap 50 year old paper air filters on top of 50 year old WCFBs. Ideas? Gloria Moon ----- Original Message ----- From: James To: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2008 11:00 AM Subject: [Chrysler300] Re: Oval Air Filters I have 2 N.O.S. Mopar part # 1852-569 that I purchased from Robert Young 10+ years ago.. By the look of the boxes I am sure they ar 45 years old.. What would you like to know about them? They are 2 1/4" high.
