theres alternatives to the factory mesh element... my friend came up with a way to use a K&N filter element.

the snap ring style was used on Mr Gasket fly eyes and some knock off brands

the zig zag wire was used on Cal Custom Fly Eyes...

the Cal Custom Fly Eye is actually slightly larger in diameter then the others and the screens and retainer rings do not interchange.

some had a vent hole in the bottom and some didnt , ive seen this on all different makes.

i hope this info helps a little

For what it's worth, this is the one I had on the 396 in my '62 in '69. I bought it from Joel Rosen at Motion. The filter gave up fast after a few carb backfires.
