Wanted: ‘37 Dictator / Coupe-Express air cleaner

[37S2de]

I have started to look for a correct air cleaner for my ‘37 Coupe-Express. The photo shows what I have on my engine now. It’s good-looking, but not correct for the year.

 

The page from the parts manual shows illustration number 0303-1F (part number 190195) as the one I’m looking for.

 

If anyone has one of these in good shape that they would be willing to part with, please contact me here or at: studebaker4829@live.com

 

Thanks in advance. Tom

Hi Tom. I think I may have one. I'll check tomorrow, unless I forget. Which has been happening frequently these days....

I found 2, but thy look more like the 0303-1D models. Oddly, one is about an inch plus taller than the other?!

Hi Chris.

 

Thanks for looking.  I’d like to find the correct one because the hood side panels are recessed to accommodate that larger diameter air cleaner.

 

I’ve owned this Coupe-Express for more than 23 years now, so I guess I need to start paying more attention to finding the correct air cleaner (either here or at swap meets once they open up again)

Let me look. I have two spares but need to see if they are correct.

Mine are not exact. Very similar on large end but not as big top to bottom on extension running out to carb. If interested I can photograph. $125 plus postage for either one. Only willing to sell one.

Hi Don.

 

Thanks for responding, but if I am reading your post correctly, the air cleaners you have are similar to the one in the photo above. That is the air cleaner I am trying to replace with one that is labeled as 0303-1F in the illustrations in the parts manual.

 

If what you have looks like 0303-1F, I would like to see pictures. 
 

Thanks. Tom
