Answer
Hi Bill,
The filter is a spin on filter and use the recommended filter in the store's application data. But be sure it has a anti drain-back valve and a bypass valve and change it every 3000 miles or less. If you change it yourself be careful if the screw in adapter comes off with the old filter not to loose it as it will come off with the filter if not tight enough in the block.
I have no clue what air pump line your are talking about.
