Default Air Cleaners

It's about time to detail my engine compartment, and I'm looking for a good air cleaner. All I have in there now is a lousy 10" cheapo, no-name, chrome cleaner.

What do you guys recommend?

Any luck with K&N?

i run k&n on all my cars, not for power, but for reliability. clean it with every oil change and it will last forever. just clean and reoil then reinstall

Is it worth the extra $$?

I didn't realize that K&N made an air filtering system for a carbureted car. Where do you get it?
Personally, I like the looks of the Holley oval air cleaners. But, alas, I don't have a holley carb. [:'(]

Also, for a good looking air cleaner, check out these Billet air cleaners.

And, of course, there is always the Edelbrock elite series.

Well, I picked up a K&N yesterday, it was like 40 bucks, but it looks good and is the best filter for my car, and with the million mile guarantee, you can't go wrong, you will eventually end up saving hundreds of dollars.
