See this Rock Auto site for a picture.  I can imagine removing an end,
cutting the height down and regluing the end on.

Perhaps WIX could be contacted regarding producing a shorter filter since
they already have the filter paper and lid and base designed.

That's the size I(we) need.  I just ordered 2 wix 42030's....They will be in
tomorrow...I thought I ordered that part last fall when I got the H, and
they were 3.5" tall.  Correct shape/size, just too tall.  I'll let you know
how high these WIX 42030 are when I get them.

  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.
