Either one. The oil bath type was "extra equipment" aka optional. I prefer the paper type myself.

Is the oil bath filter the one that came on it in 68? And does it matter if I put a regular edelbrock paper filter setup on my 318

Nope..doesn't matter. If you're running a 2bbl. carburetor the Edelbrock air cleaner won't fit. 4bbl. is no problem.

Figures.... back to looking for a 2 bbl setup then.... We passed a "junk yard" on the way home that is down by the OH boarder and my son want to go poke around there on Saturday, maybe we can find a stock 2 bbl setup then.

they do make an adapter to keep your 2bl and put an aftermarket chrome 4 bl air cleaner. try your local speed shop

I did not know that. Learn something everyday.
Duane...a 318 air cleaner off of a car or truck should work, but you may have to trim a bit off of the air horn to get it to fit in the dog house.
