Re: Oil Bath Air Cleaner?

Thanks for all the info, I didn't realize that I knew so little about the history of air filters... I was looking for a air filter housing for a straight 6 with power brakes and came across this. Long term, if I do everything I want to with this truck, the oil bath cleaner wouldn't be practical.

For day to day operation, I was hoping having the heat riser on the air filter housing would help with cold weather driveability with this 1 bbl carb. That'd be the only reason to pursue this now it looks like. Right now, I've got a chrome jobber on there with a tall paper filter and in cold weather it runs about as good as any carbed engine ever has. Kind of sluggish and slow to respond to the accelerator.
