Our car, Henry, is a survivor. We plan on keeping it that way, cable brakes and all. Does anyone know what the correct air cleaner should be? thinking its a oil bath, style?

Believe a 78-9600 air cleaner would be a good choice for you. Has a copper element that you dip in oil and drain while changing engine oil. Will post a photo when I get home later.

Here are a couple pics of an air cleaner I just cleaned up and painted. The 1937 number stamped on bottom is 78-9600, for 1939 it changed to 91A-9600 but has the same dimensions.Easy to use and no oil to fill as an oil bath requires to maintain.
