[Wing] O-320-E2D air filter

[Marc Degirolamo]

I assume that you have the foam and screen on your -4.....While this is OK
putting on the B&N  filter which Van sells would be a definite
improvement......the advantage is that you get filtered air all the
time.....Engines cost way too much to overhaul and dirt etc. going through
the carb (applying carb heat during runup) will shorten the life of your
cylinders......In short I would not run without a filter...
