That's what I was worried about--the hood.  The ones I saw last fall (which I thought were WIX 42030) were a good 1 1/2 higher.  We would need a longer bolt....I don't like the idea.  We'll know the mystery of the 42030 in the next couple of days once mine come in.

  OK, Fern. Hmmm, well sorry if I led anyone astray with this! Thought I was being helpful. Would there be anything wrong with running those WIX fitlers if they are the proper oval shape but an inch or so too tall?? As long as they'd fit under the hood.......

  I'm pretty sure about that as I live close to Gary and recall him showing me those filters. He was waiting for more stock at the time or else I would have bought some spares from him. I will check with him next that I'm out in Kalispell Montana. Fern

  Well, I suppose it IS possible! Only way to be sure is to ask Gary or for someone to buy the WIX filter and check it.

  Is it possible that Gary Goers modified the original WIX filter and
  remarketed it?

  Well, the air filters I got from Gary Goers are supposedly 2 1/4 inches high
  and oval shaped. 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......

  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?

  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?

  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.
