Does anyone going to the tailgate BBQ have an Original tall oil bath air cleaner that will fit a Stromberg on a 1949 Dodge car? It has the bracket that comes over from the cylinder head that bolts to it. Ironically, all my extra air cleaners do not have the special clamp for the beveled edge on the top of the carburetor. It seems that most of my 1 Bbl's have a straight edge with no bevel on the top except the three that I have no air cleaner for... Please Help! He is willing to purchase the air cleaner. What has happened is this, some mechanic shop took his original and tossed it to put a chrome cheap air filter on it. They claim that oil bath air filters are a fire hazard.... Seems like most younger folks are very ignorant nowadays.... Despite his efforts, the original air cleaner cannot be retrieved. Thanks guys/gals, any help would be appreciated, he is a kind good man.

Bobacuda Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 For those of us that are unable to attend (work, distance, etc.), how about compiling and posting a list of attendees and how far each traveled. Other than that, after looking at that photo from a previous BBQ, I am now convinced that these old trucks are the cause of the spare tires many of us carry . Quote

classiccarjack Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 I am going to try to get stuff ready to bring up for you guys to look over. Unfortunately, I didn't get my honey dues done until now.... Oh man it's going to be a long night using a flashlight to load up the truck! LOL I was thinking if bringing an extra 230, a hemi, perhaps a parts Transmission or two, is this the sort of things that may be needed? If not, I will gladly save myself some hard labor into the night... I also have a differential for a 1 ton truck with the six lug rims. Please let me know if this is not what you guys like to see or need. thanks, Jack Quote
