I have a very early 46 coupe and it has the , what I would call the pancake air cleaner. The car has a lot of 1945 features that were carried over into 46. In one of the articles I read on the flash drive, it shows the taller thin air cleaner like on the 40-41 cars. Does anyone know where I might find one like that? I checked Dennis, Macs and Drakes. They don't have any. Are there any other sources I should check? Thanks for the help.

46coupe. What do you call a "pancake" air cleaner. This pic shows the cleaner I have on my late year '46 Super Deluxe. Is this what you mean by a taller cleaner? I don't know why the picture flattens when I open it, but it is about 5" high. This message was edited by 51woodie on 4-22-20 @ 11:09 AM

In the July-August of the V-8 times on page 58, it shows both air cleaners. I have the one on the lower left which should be like yours which was used in the latter 46 and earl 47 Fords. I'm looking for the one in the upper right. I called the one I have a pancake because it looks shorter in height than the other one. You can also check the car for sale ads on this site. A gentleman is selling a 40 convertible. The engine bay pic shows the air cleaner I am looking for. It's possible that the air cleaners were a running change. The 45 models would have had that same air cleaner ( like the 40-42) I would presume. I will keep the one that came on the car. I just thought that it would be nice to have the earlier one. Ebay was the first site I checked. Other than that site, I guess I could find one at a swap meet, if they ever have any in SC:)

You refer to the July-August V8 Times Article, page 58. What year is the V8 Times issue? I looked at 2018 & 2019, but didn't see it. I have been thinking of cleaning up and painting the air cleaner on my early '46, but before i do that, I'd like to know if I have the correct one.

So sorry. In my haste I left out the year which was 1983. I found the article on the V-8 flash drive. Best investment I've made since joining the club. This message was edited by 46coupe on 4-24-20 @ 1:54 PM

Thanks. I ordered the flash drive because of this discussion.
