Using your K&N custom air filter is easy. First, make sure your engine is off. Remove the old air filter from your carburetor and carefully install the new K&N filter in its place. Make sure it's properly seated. When it comes to maintenance, you can tell it's time to clean the filter when it starts to look dirty. You can wash it with a mild detergent and water, then let it dry completely before reinstalling. Always handle the filter gently to avoid damaging it. And remember, this filter is designed for the 1975 - 1981 Triumph TR7 Base model, so don't try to use it on other vehicles unless it's specified as compatible.
