Ford 860 air cleaner question

I was changing the mesh elements ain"t the air cleaner on my
recently acquired Ford 860 and noticed that I took out what
looked like the equivalent of 4 mesh elements (at least based
on the size of the replacements I ordered - which they said
only 2 were needed). The new mesh pieces were 3-4 inches
long., and 2 will not completely fill the air cleaner cavity. Is the
cavity suppose to be completely full with mess - does the air
cleaner actually take more than the 2 mesh elements they say
are required? Thanks in advance for any help!
 
Blong99- My 860 air filter was plumb full of the wire mesh. From the oil bath to the top of the air intake. The way I see it is....you can't have too many filters. Just keep'em clean.

i'd run them as long as you didn't see rich signs at the tail pipe or plugs AND had good power and throttle response.
