Re: MGA Air Filters - yes, they should be oiled. The MGA Owner's Manual
is available here:
http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/books/pdf/Drivers_Handbook_1600.pdf The front
filter plate has a short pipe for the rocker breather. The MGA filter
easily bends around it.
Having noted the above, It should be mentioned that the MGA Air Filters
are more for keeping rocks & small birds out. Alternate filters are
shown here: http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/carbs/cb200.htm To fit these
filters you will need to carve away a bit of the filter to clear the
breather fitting.
Not stock in appearance but I use K&N RU4410 attached to MGB SU air
entry smoothers. Much easier to R/R the filters and real filtration.
