Re: An Air Cleaner from a '33 - To Clean or Disassemble

The carburetor was the way I received the car when I got it from the person who had been restoring it. Yesterday when I was looking over the situation i did notice that the carb would not open up all the way. While I did not have much time to investigate it I figured that something must be installed incorrectly. So the spring being wrong might be the cause.

I needed to do a double take on the "screw" in the picture because there isn't one there on the car. After going out and examining the car that shiny screw is the chrome knob on the distributor and the slot from a reflection from the air cleaner. The slotted screw is just left of where the picture ends and it has a large cylinder head and there is square nut behind it.

Don't know if I'm going to be working on it today as I'm going to remove the radio from our '51. While it works, it is hard to tune stations going from low numbers to higher ones.

Oh well, old cars are like houses - there's always something to do.
