Hi does anyone know the part number for the air filter that fits the round air box for a 32/36 carb. Thanks

If it`s a round air box,like this, it`s actually from an early 2.0 Sierra (the 2.0 Capri has a rectangular box affair, if you wanted to stick a DGAV on a 1.6, this was what you bought from Ford) 83 HF 9600 BB If it IS this part the filter is Fram CA2732 or Champion W110. Check though, because I *think* the later/earlier Sierras had a different air box, shallower (or deeper?)

If you`re certain that`s the same box, I have a filter you can have for p&p (although you may get for less on ebay, Eurocarparts?)

Blue is good man , fords colour has always been blue , waaaaaay better than a black one ( they're a bastard to paint 😁), I wouldnt tell anyone you have an air cleaner cunningly fashioned out of purest blue ,some bastard will knick it 😠😉. If your worried about how it looks just put a K&N sticker on it 😀
