Hi Peter, thanks for the kind words. I do agree that historic preservation of un-restored cars has a place in the hobby. I will likely collect bits and maintain this car in a state of historic preservation for the foreseeable future. I will keep everyone posted on the state of the lifter. Maybe if I just hope and wish it will pump up 
West, thank you so much for the air cleaner images and explanation. I am really happy to have a visual reference to use for the air cleaner and bracket ID. I am now on the hunt for the correct oil bath unit and bracket. Given the shape on the passenger side it should be fairly easy to discern from the latter variants. Your engine bay looks very tidy.
JW, yes as West mentioned both were available. Because of the desert southwest often whipping up wild dust storms without warning, I am going to focus my efforts on an oil bath unit.
