Default Trouble finding an air filter

I bought this air cleaner so I could use it on my 56 Fairlane after changing the manifold and carb. The air cleaner is supposedly from a late 50's or very earl 60's Ford product. It fits the Autolite 4100 carb perfectly. The problem is I can't find a filter for it. The filter I think I need should probably be:
Top - 10.39" O.D., 7.28" I.D
Bottom - 9.78" O.D, 7.28" I.D
possibly 3.22" tall.

I'm stumped. It's a Ford product. It shouldn't be that hard to find.
No catalog shows a filter that will fit. The closest one I found is from a Desoto. It fits but not perfectly.
I think the filter I need might be an AC A82C filter but I haven't found the dimensions for it.
