I cleaned up the oil bath air filter that came with the car. I think this is not an original packard air filter, but is "period correct" I will use this untill I clean, paint and get a support for the propper oil bath air cleaner with the big silencer that goes over the engine.
I added oil until the full mark (red line) and when I installed the upper half of the filter, the steel ring/saucer sits in the oil. This kind of supprised me, but I guess the intake air is supposed to make it's U-turn in the space between the Kapok and the top side of this saucer covered in oil. Anybody know if this is correct?
Anybody recognize what car this filter is originally from? Fits great on the 2bbl, also has a relief on the bottom side for the choke.
