Mark Shaw Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 The can will be hard to re-seal when changing the internal filter because the ends of the can support the unit. I suggest that you keep the original air cleaner if you enter the car for judged shows, and use a commonly available filter for everyday driving.

michealbernal Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 You have a good looking original filter there. It is not all dented and rusted out the way many originals are. It still has its end support stud which has not broken loose. I would paint it and get an original decal and apply it. Then follow Mark Shaws advice and install a common filter for driving and install the really nice original filter for judging at shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - 29 Buick Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Yes, you can modify a 29 Buick original air filter to house a replacement filter.
