The engine in this car seems to still have the New Yorker dipstick and tube suggesting to me that either the filters were changed when the engine was installed or they were installed at an earlier date.  The New Yorker dipstick will interfere with the "delta wing" oil bath filter system.

I'm curious about the voltage regulator mounting on the inner fender.  There is one installed in the usual location on the firewall next to the booster, but I can't see wires running to it.
Must be an in-line fuel filter somewhere.  The sediment bowls were removed.

I think this car is good enough to restore without changing body and frame.  Someone should put a great deal of effort toward "preservation" of this car with a little less emphasis on "restoring" it to its original state, and that means leaving the New Yorker engine block in place as a part of this car's history.

Once again, it is "DELTAWING".........................

 

ECK, Elmer Karl Kiekhaefer is credited for developing the dry air filter.

Hello 300 Fans,

The cars had oil bath aircleaners, the famous "Batwing", we all know and love. Very early in competition at Daytona Beach, the cars began to be "drowned out" when the violent turns off the beach, up and over the dunes to get to the paved route A-1A, put oil from the air cleaner down the intake. The paper aircleaner was ""cobbled" from two trash can covers filled with rolls of toilet paper by Carl K.'s pit crew. So what did they look like ? - I have never seen a photo of one of those. How quickly was something better constructed using that new knowledge - again I don't know, and I suspect very few are alive today to answer that question. Any one know? Perhaps we should ask Vicky Wood what she remembers at the Joint Meet in PA. I can't attend, so someone, Please Ask !

My personal guess is it is a later item put on when the New Yorker engine went in. My Two Cents.

All the Best 300ing,
