'In a pinch' a '55-''57 side draft four barrel carb air filter assy will fit & work on a Studebaker Avanti......True?

Clarification, please? "side-draft four barrel carb" is a term for which I have no referent. The only '55-57 Stude 4-bbls I've seen are Carter WCFB, which take in air at the top. Some of the '55-57 oil bath air filters mount on the side of the engine and have an extension which goes over to the carburetor. Is this what we're discussing?

ANSWER......This '55-'57 air filter assy (side draft type) will fit onto the Avanti carb and is not too high, but won't clear the right inner fender skirt.......so the answer here is FALSE!
