[FWDLK] Air Filtration



Gents,
 
Lets not forget to give credit where credit is due.  Carl Kiekhaefer who raced the Chrysler 300s in NASCAR and AAA racing in '55 and '56 found the dirt getting through the delta-wing oil bath air cleaners of the C300s and 300Bs was what was shortening the life of his race motors and destroying the bearings.  He and his engineers worked with Purolator to develop paper air filters to the degree that they became standard on '57 Chrysler products with oil baths still optional on some models for the die-hards.
