Converting from oil bath...

[Steve]

My bus has an oil bath air cleaner. Its an IH 345 with a Holley 2 barrel. Is there an easy way to convert it to a modern cleaner or would it run best with the old oil bath?

According to this article the oil bath is as effective as a K&N Filter. So I guess I will just stick with it.

Fitting an K&N air filter is always rewarding. Just make sure you have enough space under the hood for an complete new unit or simply replace the insert.

On the heavy trucks IH used an oil bath air filter which is very effective too. Just tends to make a mess on your shiny, newly painted block.
