This completed air cleaner ultimately went on a ’56 Ford Victoria which has a 303” Y engine using a Summit 750 cfm carb; the air cleaner fits like it belongs there. This particular air cleaner was donated to the cause by Ralph Alix and had some rust holes in the bottom of the oil reservoir so it was no longer suitable for being used as an oil bath air cleaner. To help the air flow to the paper elements, some additional holes were drilled into the bottom of the air cleaner. Lorena, Texas (South of Waco)
