RE: air filters

On cars with carbs, not fuel injection, air cleaners serve another important purpose, they supress fires when the carbs "cough".....I experienced this first hand on my '58 Plymouth when my dad had removed the air cleaner to tweak the carb and forgot to put it back on......I drove the car about 5 miles and sat at a stop light only to watch the paint on my hood bubble from the fire.......

The same thing happened to my Ram. The filter also keeps dirt and crap out of the engine.
