    My AMC 360 is missing the airfliter and housing, what am I looking for as a replacement, does it have to be AMC? Was thinking of K&N but still need base plate and tophat, any ideas welcomed.

    K&N would work. I'm not much of a fan though.

    Pretty much any air cleaner for a US 4V carburetor will fit. There are lots of different air cleaners available from aftermarket sources. I would prefer a big paper element with a foam wrap.

    I use the 14" from napa PRA-160 for the filter and as mentioned above just get a V8 housinf should work. The KN are awefully expensive, I replace my one a year and that seems fine

    Mine was missing also, I used one from a Ford 70 PU, almost identical, I don't like the chrome filter housings for Jeeps because the filter is exposed. Water and mud splashes up and soaks the exposed filter.
