Anybody have a photo to show how to disassemble a '36 two barrell stromberb carb air cleaner non-oil bathe? I was told the one I have will com apart. Can't see how. The top has a wing nut and the top lid comes off, but nothing else. Am I wrong on this? Thank-you.

I don’t think you’re wrong; patience and forceps can remove / replace the filter material and screen.

Normally there is no reason to take out the filter material. Soaking the top portion of the air cleaner will loosen the dirt and debris in the material and allow it to be washed away by agitating the cleaner in the solvent. After letting the solvent dry out of the cleaner, the element should be re-oiled with 30W motor oil. The later air cleaners had a replaceable element, the 1936 cleaner did not. If yours is in good shape, just wash it. If it is in bad shape, you can try to replace it with coarse brass wool, but it is a tedious job. I would look for another air cleaner in better shape or better yet replace it with an oil bath air cleaner. Tom

You can advertise for a stock 1936 air cleaner, but any that are for sale may be in the same shape as your is. After you clean the element and let it dry, you must put oil on the element to help it catch dirt. If your element is in fair shape, just clean and re-oil it every 1,000 miles or once a year if you drive less than that. Tom
