PA 631
« on: September 08, 2022, 07:23:41 PM »
I bought a PA 631 air cleaner element thinking it would fit a four barrel pancake air cleaner, well it doesn't. I will ship it to anyone in the lower 48 states that will send me $20. That can be a money order, personal check, or a twenty dollar bill folded up in a piece of paper and sent to me in an envelope. (Remember when we used to do that all the time?) This air cleaner is new and usually cost around $40 delivered, so this is a half price opportunity for those of you with 2x4 stock air cleaners. At least I think that is what if fits. If you live near me in Lakeport, CA, it is free if you pick it up at my place.

Kurt, do you know what brand it is?  If it's an AC Delco, I'll take it.  PM me with payment details.

Thanks,

It's a Baldwin filter.
 I bought the same filter a couple of weeks ago. What I see is that the outer edge seems about twice as thick as the originals making it almost impossible to get the lid to fit down in place.

Thanks for that info Loren.  In that case, it sounds like this filter won't fit well in the Super Wildcat air cleaner.  I've been using the Hastings AF-26 filter and it fits well.  I see Baldwin crosses to this Hastings number, but apparently isn't quite the same.
