What I Learned About Air Filters on FordBarn
Without an air filter
It’s common knowledge You’ll send your engine builder’s Three kids through college. Invisible grit hurts many things: Valve guides and seats, compression rings. Minuscule dirt Can painful be. Have contact lenses? Then you’ll agree. When a scratch is scored Into cylinder wall Tho’ the piston shall rise Compression doth fall. But a dirty air filter Can wreak havoc, too It richens the mixture Which mischief will do. So balance your Zenith Vent the float bowl upstream Then barometrically balanced It’ll fuel smooth and clean But a few drops of gas A paper filter can soak A backfire and then Your A goes up in smoke! So one final step And you’ll sleep well at night Run a modern fuel shutoff That seals nice and tight. Better yet fix your dang gas tank Banish the rust Use a Henry Ford fuel tap It’ll be worthy of trust On the other hand, Henry Forbade the air filter It’s down there in writing It’ll throw carbs off kilter Yes, roads were all dusty And dirty, and poor But you don’t need a filter That’s what engine pans are for. (In part. But that's for another poem) So choose your own path In your Model A life Choices bring consequences So said my ex-wife. But this little poem is Not guaranteed to be right It’s just my summation Of things Barners write. My next undertaking Will be “What’s the best oil?” But don’t hold your breath I foresee lengthy toil.
