14" Round Washable Air Filter Element - 3 Inches

• Red oiled cotton gauze media restores airflow, reusable after cleaning

• Round shape seals against compatible 14" air-cleaner housings

• 3" height, 5 1/8" neck fits standard single 4-barrel carbs

• Re-oil after cleaning to maintain filtration performance

Unlike a disposable paper element, this 14" round filter uses red oiled cotton gauze media designed to be cleaned and reused rather than replaced at every service interval. It's built as a direct service replacement for compatible round air-cleaner housings, filtering incoming air before it reaches the carburetor or intake while supporting long-term serviceability.

Dimensions are 14" outside diameter, 3" height, and a 5 1/8" neck/inlet diameter — standard fitment for a single 4-barrel carburetor. Match all three dimensions to your existing air-cleaner housing before ordering, since outside diameter alone doesn't guarantee fit.

Common in street performance and restoration builds that prefer a reusable filter over disposable paper, this element is intended for regular cleaning and re-oiling rather than one-time replacement.

Applications
Fits compatible 14" round air-cleaner housings with a 5 1/8" neck/inlet diameter; standard fitment for single 4-barrel carburetors, commonly used in restoration and street performance builds preferring a reusable filter.

Sizing
14" outside diameter, 3" height, 5 1/8" neck/inlet diameter. This listing is the 3" height — 2", 4", and 5" heights are sold as separate SKUs (SP7142, SP7144, SP7145) in this same diameter and material.

Does this listing include all four heights (2", 3", 4", 5")?
No. This listing (SKU SP7143) is for the 3-inch height filter only. The 2-inch (SP7142), 4-inch (SP7144), and 5-inch (SP7145) versions are available as separate listings.

Is this filter washable and reusable?
Yes. This filter uses red oiled cotton gauze media and is designed to be cleaned, re-oiled, and reused rather than replaced like a paper filter.

Why is the filter media red?
The filter media is pre-treated with a red-dyed filter oil. The color helps indicate that oil has been evenly applied after cleaning and re-oiling while providing effective filtration.

What's the neck/inlet diameter on this filter?
This filter features a 5⅛-inch neck (inlet) diameter, making it suitable for many single 4-barrel carburetor applications. Verify compatibility with your air cleaner housing before ordering.

Do I need to oil this filter after cleaning?
Yes. Re-oil the cotton gauze media after cleaning to maintain proper filtration performance. Running the filter dry for extended periods can reduce its effectiveness.

How does the 3" height compare to the 2" version?
The 3-inch filter provides additional filter media and greater airflow capacity than the 2-inch version, but it also requires more hood clearance. Verify your available clearance before selecting the taller filter.
