When I had a '47 Plymouth I converted the oil bath cleaner to a standard paper type filter. Has anyone done this on a '46-'48 Ford? If so, what filter make and number was used? Many Thanks! Lou G

We have done many of those, including my own '47. I am attaching a "how to" page.

do you have a "How To" page for converting a Heavy Duty oil bath air cleaner [ the type that mounts on a bracket on the left side head] to a paper element? Thank you.

No, we haven't concerted any of those because they are scarce. Most oil bath units can be converted to paper with a bit of ingenuity. When we did the original conversion, we took the filter housing to our local NAPA dealer and tried various types until we found one that did the job. Converting does away with the constant oily film on the unit, and certainly increases the filtering. An oil bath cleaner depends on the air passing over the oil pool which, hopefully, grabs some of the dirt. Old Henry didn't think much of filters, and they didn't appear until after the Model A days. The head-mounted units were to increase the size of the oil pool for very dusty conditions.
