I see the more compact design of the 126 filter housing gives more room down by the steering box but does it give any extra room at the fire wall? In my 39 Studebaker project we are having problems fitting it into the space available and if we cut the fire wall to fit the filter intrudes into where the gas pedal wants to be.
