I have been thinking about putting my old oil bath air cleaner back on for a more original look. I stored it for about 10 years so it's very dry at this point. The horse hair mesh in the filter is dried out and some of it shakes off. Should I be concerned that some of this loose filter mesh will be sucked down the intake or do you think that it will be captured in the oil at the bottom of the base of the air cleaner?
Also I've been thinking of modifying the oil bath to a paper filter. I found this on a Ford site. Looks like it's a good modification.
