Converting Oil Bath Air Cleaner

Post by Linoman Sun Sep 25, 2011 6:57 am

Taking the idea from EconoCarl on converting our oil bath cleaners to a paper filter here are photos of the project. The inside is all formed together so it needs to be cut apart.I did all the cutting with my Dremel tool with a metal cutting wheel. A word of safety, let as much of the old oil to drain out, although not super flammable you will be causing sparks so use some caution. The air filter is from NAPA # 2055

I converted mine because I didn't like cleaning up every time I removed the air filter assembly!

FYI- For the bolt that goes down to the lower pan...I used a carriage bolt and ground both of the sides flat so that it fits neatly down in the groove on top of the air cleaner assembly.

Part number for paper filter is Fram CA-148

Great! Thanks!

I just came in from the shop. This was a straightforward conversion. A snip here, a cut there and I went so far as to remove the spot welds that held the element housing in, giving a nice clean area for the filter to set. All I have to do now is head over to the parts store for the filter element.

No hurry though as I have a carb on order and it won't be in until Wednesday. Cool

I used the stove bolt method that larrytech1 suggested. I also cleaned up the air cleaner and applied some decals I got from C&G. I think it turned out pretty decent. The "240" decal is a bit large but doesn't look too bad. If the rest of the van turns out as good, I'll be happy. Very Happy

Very Happy

This is an awesome conversion!

Hi Mark,

Herb was referring to the 8 door panel. Ford called what most call panel vans, regular vans. Ford's definition of a panel is a no door van. so, a eight door can not be a panel. It's legal name would be an eight door regular van. Herb is a "panel" connoisseur. Has a few of them. Takes offense when regular vans are called panels. But it's OK. It's all good. We know what it is. ( I got a 67 eight door regular van.)
