MarkT 'Bolter M Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 241 So. California	Does anyone have a good method on how to clean an oil bath air cleaner? I'm not sure what type of cleaning solvent to use. I'd appreciate any input that you may have. Thanks. 1956 Chevy 3200, 1/2 Ton, 235 CI https://photos.app.goo.gl/TQQo1YnFjs3U7xB57
