OP Peterw Shade Tree Mechanic Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 193 Lancs, UK	Hi Jim, Thanks that. But is it a down draft, surely the Carter carb is up draft? Can you tell me, is there a pipe between the filter and the carb and is the filter flat or vertically fitted? PeterW

Also download this 1930-Chevrolet vehicle information kit PDF from the GM Heritage center: www.gmheritagecenter.com/docs/gm-he...mation-kits/Chevrolet/1930-Chevrolet.pdf On page 37 of the booklet (page 80 of the PDF) is an illustration of the air cleaner mounted to the carb.

The difference is the '30 has the air passages on the carburetor side while the '29 on the back side facing the fire wall. How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
