im agreeing with you mr.bill. the reason they didnt run air filters is because of ignorance.they just didnt know.im talking about the average owner.after reading this i jumped on the phone to a old friend. he was there.lol he said that they guys back then didnt really understand what was going on. they just knew that if it would start, they were good.they didnt think about all that crap getting sucked in and what it would do.they use to advertise a air filter for the country folk to make them cars last longer .im just relaying what a man almost 90 told me, cause i sure as he-- wasnt there.lol

IGNORANCE! exactly right!!
Let's not spread & multiply that same ignorance..
Definition: Ignorance: You didn't get no larnin'
Bill W's Ghost:eek:
 
I have wondered if the recommended 500 mile oil change interval was at least partly due to the unfiltered air intake rapidly contaminating the oil with dirt.
 
I’ve seen many higher dollar cars like the Premier’s and the like from the 20's and 30's that had air filters or oil bath air filters on them. I think it was more of a calculated risk assessment verses cost for Mr. Henry Ford.

I wasn't gonna' get drug into this, 'til I noticed you misspelled my LAST NAME!:eek:
BALDERDASH! BALDERDASH! BALDERDASH! Why would ANYONE try to justify throwin' DIRT through your carb!!:eek::eek: It ain't smart & it'll EAT YOUR ENGINE ALIVE! Get a highboy filter with a low restriction paper or a K&N element & your engine will say, "THANK YOU, KIND SIR!" (I thought I'd heard everything, 'til I just read, "MODEL A'S WERE DESIGNED TO RUN ON DIRT!!!!!) Bill Williamson

Sorry about the misspelling Bill, must of had dirt in my eyes:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:, (ah, I mean engine). I promise to never do that again and get my air filter cleaned often :D:D:D:D. And maybe proof read before posting, ROTFL
 
What's ROTFL? Bill W. ( I don't use acronyms 'cause I'm not up to snuff on them & might offend somebody if I used the wrong one!) Could DSW=don't spell well?
Could DTWE=don't type well either?

It's the train that is used to re-enact the Golden Spike Ceremony at Promontory Summit, 35 miles north of Promontory Point.

The 31 I's bought has one of them dar air maze filters on it. She leaks a little gas out when I shuts her down thats why I turn the gas off thankfully it don't leak. Only drips for about 28 seconds after I shuts da gas valve. It is on the list to checks the float from what I been reading sounds like I need to add another gasket. Don't leaks when it is running.

I would get down there and ROTFL at Mr B with ya but when I go down I don't get up likes I used to.:D
