Guest DADDIO65 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Does anyone know of a filter element that could be placed inside an oil bath style air cleaner for my 39 Zephyr. I have heard of people doing this without changing the outside appearence. Any thoughts or ideas would be most helpful. Thanks, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mssr. Bwatoe Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I run a stock non oil filter..with a napa paper instead of oil mesh..has 2 benefits.. great filter for abrasives..and slight restriction to increase pcv draw from air cleaner tube..My system works like henry meant.. it draws air in from the oil fill , leaves through air tube..no fumes ..The filter was hit / miss ..go over to napa and take your filter..find one to work..

Guest DADDIO65 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Did you remove the wire mesh from your air cleaner? I'm a little confused as to how you did this. In order to remove my wire "filler" I had to cut the 8 ribs from the inside of the filter. Now that that is open I could install a paper element in the lid. Is that what you are meaning?

Mssr. Bwatoe Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I USED A NON OIL BATH AIR CLEANER.I SAY DONT MODIFY IT..GET A STANDARD 39 AIR CLEANER..ADD A PAPER FILTER TO THAT..DONT DESTROY THAT RARE 39 OIL BATH...SAVE OR SELL IT..AS IS..THE OTHER IS SIMPLE TO USE..

b6vt Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) Earlier, a person indicated that he was using a mopar air filter in the oil bath cleaner and was not doing any modification to the unit. The mopar filter was for a K car. He didn't say which engine or year model, Does any one know?I would like to substitute the oil with the paper filter. My car is a '48 LC.

Guest DADDIO65 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I had to remove the old wire filler to be able to clean it, and have it powder coated. Is there anywhere I can buy replacement filler for my oil bath air cleaner? I really don't want to not be able to use it. Any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ray Kuntz Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 daddioI would like to know if you removed your floor pans when you had the lynx sprayed on them or did you take the car to them.Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DADDIO65 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Ray,I took the car to them. they taped off everything. I went under the car with aluminum A/C tape to form the correct floor pan lines and they sprayed over them. Then I undercoated the floor pans on the outside. You can't really tell. they are very strong and will most likely outlast the car.thanks,Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
