Default Tri-power air filter element dimensions??

I am working on a small block project and need the dimensions on the factory triangular air filter element for a big block tri-power before I order one. Would someone be kind enough to measure one and either post or pm the dimensions?? I need outside length and width at the widest parts. I also need the height and thickness of the filter.

Thanks!

Mine is still in a box (recent move) but I'll try to find it. If not, here's a bump to the top for you.

Found it!

At the widest point, it's 16 3/8 inches.

The length from the center of the triangle is 15 1/4

The element is approximately 1 3/4 inches with the foam compressed.

Let me know if you need anything else measured.

Don't understand this one?? Is the triangle symmetrical, or is the width, side to side, bigger than the length front to back??

The element is approximately 1 3/4 inches with the foam compressed.

Is this the height or thickness or??

Thanks for the help!! I'm trying to determine if I can modify a reproduction air cleaner assembly to work with a small block tri-power, or, if the filter element would work if I decide make the top and bottom on my mill. I'd prefer to use a triangular air filter rather than one of the big oval air filter elements.
