Smile Oil Bath Cleaner

I have a 1952 Ford F1 Pickup with a 6 cylinder 215 cid overhead engine/ 3 spd on the floor. I am trying to locate a Oil Bath Cleaner for the Carb. Also looking for some restoration pictures of interior and exterior for my '52

Just an idea I have but if you have an old air cleaner with rust holes in the bottom use it to make a cold air intake with a pleeted filter. That is what I am doing in an effert to pick up a couple extra horses.(hopfully)

I also need the correct oil bath cleaner for my 215. I have a few from the V8 flatheads, but they are not correct.

This oil bath air cleaner is f/s on The HAMB. Not sure if it will fit the bill or not but worth checking out:

Regarding restoration photos of a 52, check-out my gallery. I recall that there is at least one of the interior. It is stock.

Effie is a nickname for the Ford F-series trucks. I've heard the term mainly used for trucks from 48 thru the 60's.

Look at ebay, there is a 1948 F2 that is very nicely restored. You will even see a good picture of its flathead six air cleaner. Notice that it has a support rod that goes from the cleaner housing to the cylinder head.

I don't know if that will fit because mine is not a Flathead Six. My '52 came through with the experimental Overhead Six. I will check it out though. Thank's for the Info
