I bought this air cleaner so I could use it on my 56 Fairlane after changing the manifold and carb. The air cleaner is supposedly from a 57-59 Ford or Mercury or maybe a Lincoln. It fits the Autolite 4100 carb perfectly. The problem is I can't find a filter for it. The filter I think I need should probably be:Top - 10.39" O.D., 7.28" I.D- Bottom - 9.78" O.D, 7.28" I.D- possibly 3.22" tall. The ones I can find fit but are too short and basically just hangs from the top and leaves nearly an inch gap from the bottom of the air clearer.
I'm stumped. It's a Ford product. It shouldn't be that hard to find. Not even a Ford catalog shows a filter that will fit. The closest one I found is from a Desoto. It fits but not perfectly as you can see in the top photo. The last photo shows the depth of the inside of the air cleaner. These are photos when I had the manifold removed from the engine to replace a rotted choke tube.
