You gotta do what you gotta do. As said earlier, you have to be happy with your car.

We have “always” run with the wire, dry, up draft, old style filter. Carburetor, when checked, has always been clean inside. I clean filter every 500 miles or so. We run with engine side pans.

Engine idles very nicely and is very smooth driving with no dead spots. Zenith 1 carburetor.

If engine back fires through carb, air cleaner retains flash.

I would not run a gas engine of any kind without a filter. Why take the chance.

But, you know, I change the oil every year with under 500 miles. It’s just my thing.

Got my first Model A in 1960. I’ve got my rocker out in the garage right next to our 29. Car, dog, wife, kids, we spoil them all. Enjoy.
