Re: [FWDLK] Air Cleaner Conversion

[David Homstad <dhomstad@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Maverick,

This is what I did to my 56 Dodge 4 barrel air cleaner. It looks totally
stock on the outside. All 55/56 Mopar 4 barrel air cleaners are the same.

To convert from an oil bath 4 bbl a/c to paper element for less mess and
lower restriction:
       Cut the side of the lid around the perimeter about 1.5 inches down
from the top. Remove the oil element stuff.
       Carefully chisel the spot-welds, 6 places, holding the oil element
vanes to the top of the lid.
       Use 2 filters (7 1/2" ID, 2" high) for an early 80's Dodge Colt,
Plymouth Horizon, or Honda Civic):
              Mopar L573                       FRAM  CA3490
Motorcraft FA869
              AC A757C                         Purolator FCA15
K-Mart KA55
              Also, a custom K & N washable element could be used: 7 ?" ID x
4" high.

Has anyone tried to put a newer paper air filter on an older oil bath
4-barrel carb. There has got to be an adapter somewhere that will enable
this.
