I researched the plugs, and all were equivalent plugs from different eras, same plugs, different numbers, so that mystery is solved.
The air filter thing is serious IMO. If you saw how they fit, you'd laugh.
I was planning on cutting them and inserting (wiring inmaybe) a spacer so the cleaners fit around the edge of their mounts, and stayed out of the way of the stacks.
I asked Roger why he never ran the car without cleaners, because it looks just SO TOTALLY cool with no air cleaners, and he pointed to a bunch of dirt and rocks on top of the transaxle and said that those were just from our test drive, so I knew then I'd be running the car with the cleaners installed.
Now, when I get the cleaners to fit properly, and not cross across the middle of 4 of the stacks, things will probably be even better!
