Air cleaner

Which air cleaner works best with the DFAV carburetor? I have a 79 spider.

That depends on your definition of what is 'best'. If you want a near-stock look and a quiet filter then the stock filter from a 1973-74 Spider will be the best.
If you want a free flow filter then the rectangular filters sold by the Fiat parts vendors will work well. These filters have an open element, so under heavy acceleration they will be much louder than the stock air cleaner.

Thank-you for the input. I believe I will go with the rectangle one.
