Cheer's, Neil.
No problem...I think the twin tube air filters went away when Mack went to front mount intercooling, this was around 1983? . This again made maintance access better as it removed the tip turbine and side mount cooler from the engine. The one thing I like about the old tip turbine maxidynes was it had a nice whine to it when it was waking up. 1st and 2nd gear were quick and you could hear it spool up half way in 1st,pause thry your shift...then wind out in 2nd..

Back then every engine make had its own song...not so much today
