I purchased a new air filter and discovered that by the purolator book, the filter I bought is shorter than the one it replaces. It is the open style air cleaner where the filter is exposed all the way around. I think the GM filter is a #212. But, what is the true correct height of the filter supposed to be?

If I use the filter I bought, it's shorter and the lid screw is too long for my Chevy Bowtie nut to screw down on. I guess I could cut the the rod off to make it shorter, but maybe the tall filter I had was right to begin with.

The carb (air filter) plate is sitting on top of an Edl 750. It appears to be original.

AC 212CW is the correct filter for both the open element aircleaner and the cowl Induction aircleaner.
