Question Will this fit Zenith Carbs?

Will this K&N conversion kit fit stock Zenith Carbs from a 1971 911T?
The product descriptions says it fits Weber 40IDA.

That picture is wrong.

I believe the filter number is E-3671 for the 3.25 inch tall filter

The unit looks more like this:

Edit:
Have you read this?

K&N Filters killed my rings ?!?


I don't know what your requirements are but I currently have K&N's and will be switching over to ITG's.

At a minimum I would run the K&N's with the prefilter bag.

Does those KN filters that fits weber will adapt to a stock 911 zenith carbs as well?

Thanks for the replies

Where do you buy those exact kind of filter conversions?

Pelican has some but they look different?

Pelican sells a watershield type.

The K&N conversion is the one I am looking for, the one on there website.

Do they both work well and function the same ?

Have you read the edit to my first post?

They will both filter the same the only difference is the water shield does just that, shield water from the filter.

Yes I have heard of K&N filter not being good for cars.

I want to use a different filter do you know of any other ones that wil work with the conversion?

I personally am going for the itg filters, they have their own base plates which differ from the k&n.

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads4/Picture+0151099623795.jpg

I've heard that the prefilter bag for the k&n's will filter down to .005 inch (5 microns).

There are other filters out there but I am not as familiar with them. Hopefully others will chime in.

Where do you buy this type of filters conversions?

Do they bolt right into the zenith carbs?
