1952-59 Ford oilbath cleaner swap?

Hey guys sorry I haven't been on in a while I've just been super busy with school and work. Anyways I posted about this before but cant seem to find it. I'm looking to swap out my Oilbath cleaner for a airfilter. I have a 1bl cabr and a straight 6 can anyone help me with this?

Thanks
George

 

Look up rustyfords posts,He did the conversion,or send him a pm for the link.

 

found it thanks! But I'm not looking to keep the stock look. I just want to replace the oilbath itself.

 

Measure the diameter of the Carburetor where the filter bolts on and buy one to fit that size, try the cl***ifieds, Ebay, Jegs, etc.

 

Bummer is that the aftermarket air filters that fit 1 bbl's are usually those chrome 4" filters that don't flow much air.If I remember right the filter He used was from a Plymouth Valiant which is 9" diameter,much better flow.So here's the trick buy this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spectre-9-x...ries&vxp=mtr&hash=item588fd58c9a#ht_500wt_922 you will also need this adapter kit which will take it down the smaller neck size http://www.ebay.com/itm/Filter-Adap...ies&vxp=mtr&hash=item4cfbaf0cc8#ht_3183wt_905

 

Awesome, so how does the adapter and everything connect together? Thanks so much!!

 

Its really hard to filter air better than the old oil bath air filter. Paint it up nice and run it. Stay way from the little paper ones.

 

Yeah I know but my issue is I run my car hard and the oil spills everywhere. I'm
Over it lol.

 

The adapter just fits in the bottom of the filter you do have to have a center stud to hold it down with,if your existing Carb used a clamp on setup you will need to fabricate that mount.

 

I'm thinking that 1960-64 cars and trucks with that engine had the paper element so you should be able to just swap out the oil bath with one of those air cleaner ***emblies.
