Where can I find paper air cleaner for Autolite 1101?

[cdherman]

I have a 240 (yes, I know they have their own forum, but they don't have this carb very often and you do!) that has an Autolite 1101 on it (maybe a 1100, but I doubt it).

Anyhow, it has an oil air cleaner. The carb neck is just a 2 1/16 OD pipe, with a threaded rod up the middle. I assume this is standard for a 1101, regardless of year, and car/pickup it landed in.

The oil breather sits in the neck. It works OK, but I'd really rather have a paper air cleaner.

Anyone know of a source? Got an old one laying around that I can buy?

I know, I could custom mill an adaptor (I have looked all over for an adaptor to 5 1/8" with no sucsess), but I keep on thinking there MUST be someone who went to a differnt carb and tossed the old one and its paper air cleaner in a corner!

Thanks!!!!

If I'm correct, the Autolite 1100 and 1101 is the same carb. I used to buy Fram air filters.

Purolator: A30045
Fram: CA184

Yep, I know they are essentially the same carb. I need the air cleaner that those filters you used to buy fit in!!! What year/model car had it, if I may ask?

Thanks.......

So you mean the sheetmetal housing for the filter, top and bottom? You currently have an oil bath air cleaner?

That sounds good. I tried to email you, and the system did not bounce the message back, but I havn't heard back from you.

Can you email me? My email in the system is correct.

Thanks
