My bad...sorry for yelling. Borne of frustration due to folks having to guess as to what you wanted, which obviously indicates the inherent vagueness of your inquiry (note that the two folks who responded before me, Mssrs. Grumpy and Sunshine, certainly ain't no dummies).
You gave two DIAMETERS of two air cleaners that you tried. You did NOT give their respective heights. [Capitalization added for emphasis only.] If you simply wanted the height of a stock S&H, why not simply ask for it?
The S&Hs come with a wire cage and foam element that is really only useful for show (GENERALLY speaking--some folks do use them as they come out of the box). Most folks throw a K&N or something else in there, and whatever element you chose determines the resulting height, and folks were trying to get that across to you presuming you would be chosing a modern element for fitment. The S&Hs are simply a top and bottom plate with an element thrown in between them...
In any event, I did take the time and go out and measure an extra stock one I still have in the box...
just in case that's what you wanted. I set forth those measurements. Obviously, I, like others, was trying to be helpful as folks on this site typically are.
Whatever...good luck, for what it's worth.
