Air Cleaner Question

Dose this look like a L head air cleaner?

 

Don't know, but it's different than my '56 F-head a/c.

 

Their were 2 types of oil bath cleaners yours looks like the one out of my m38.

 

I think I saw that type on a military Jeep page....the page was giving examples from different years. Don't have the link though.

 

It looks to me like part of the brackets are missing. I don't have the indent in my 2A fire wall.

 

Looks like it might mount flat against the firewall, but I don't know.

 

as I remember it their was more to the bracket on the firewall,sort of sits 45 degrees out on the right side but the 38 has been dismantled for years.

 

I looks like the one out of my m38 also. Does it have an inlet and an outlet? I think I have a spare set of firewall mounts if you need them.

 

I have that type on one of my 48 CJ2As with the L head and I believe it is called the Oakes Oil Bath Air Cleaner. I also have the other type like the F heads use on my other all original 48 CJ2A.

 

Thanks for all the great info. I think I got it all now, great links.

 

If you are interested I have pics of every 4 cyl oilbath airfilter Willys made for the CJ jeep archived and I can explain the approx date and application of each.
That sounds so sad, I really need to get a life!

 

I have one of those on my CJ3A. I figured it might be a military job, since the oil filter I have is, and won't fit the civvy oil filter cartridge. The Jeep was originally the property of the California National Guard, so I figured they just slapped on M38 parts from the motor pool, since they were handy. Frankenjeep.

 

Nah, it's a good life Bill
