Does anyone have info on the screw/bolt that holds the top of my air cleaner on. There is a square hole in the brace that runs across the hole in the body. Maybe some sort of carriage bolt????? I have the wing nut. Thanks Bruce

As I recall it should be a 10-32 screw. They are swedged into the brace so they do not turn when installing the wing nut. Use a 10-32 of the correct length and put a nut on it to tighten it against the brace. Once the lid is installed no one will ever see the repair.

Hello, My 37 Fordor has a threaded rod built into the mouth of the carb. It is 1/4"-20 thread. A wing nut is used on top of the carb to hold the cleaner in place. See pics. Now comes the disclaimer... I am unsure if this is original 37 equipment. The car in general is bone stock, haven't run across anything that looks modified. Carbs are easy to change out so that could be my case, just don't know. Now I am curious just what is original for this screw. Need more input from others. Thanks, gregg

Yours is the optional oil bath air cleaner. I believe he is asking about the standard dry air cleaner.

Yes it is the dry type. Also on my last response I would like to know the correct finish of the screw and wingnut
