VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1937-1945 Dry Air Filter Element

Tiny, I see in the topic discussion about the town and country horns that you mentioned you use a dry air filter element. That sounds like a great idea to save my copper mesh for shows and exhibits - as long as the air intake isn't restricted. What brand and model do you use so I don't have to take my air cleaner into NAPA and start trying to match air filters? Thanks!

I'll have to go and look. I'll get back to you with it later today.

OK, it's a WIX 42904 filter. To get it to fit right I put a ring of heater hose (top pic) sized to fit the filter on the bottom. I also had to use a ring of smaller hose to fit the top of the filter as shown in the second pic. The third pic shows it all in the housing. If you can find a taller filter you won't need the hose spacers. Hope this helps.

Great - thanks for the feedback. Perhaps we'll see you in Lake Tahoe - Cheers!
