Hi Scout  I hope all is well!
I found this in a old jeep in Grand junction Colorado. I asked the owner if he wanted to sell it to me, he said Just take it.
What year would this likely be? do you think its rebuildable?  |

Lucky you! Great score Jeff!
Yes, Late ’40’s thru mid ’50’s. Large size indicates it was designed for a six or eight cylinder motor. It is rebuildable. I have everything you need. The only question I would have is the condition of the bail screw and nut (replacement cost is - $6.75). All prices are USD.
Option A (Assuming Bail Screw/Nut is in good shape) You save labor $ to restore and some shipping. Parts
New Ceramic element $20.73
New gasket $12.10
New spring $2.32
Total parts $35.15
Option B (Assuming Bail Screw/Nut is in good shape) Send it to me for restoration
Parts $35.15
Labor $17.50
Total $52.65
Option C Send it to me as a core. I ship a restored unit back to you.
Core Credit -$15.00
Restored Filter $65.00
You pay $50.00
Shipping, in all three options is $12.00
There is a Lifetime warranty on the element. For as long as you own it, if a problem develops with the element, I’ll replace it free of charge. With option 3, you have your choice of Traditional Red, Bright, Blasted or Natural finish.

Hey Jeff,
I got the filter today. Yes indeed, it needs some work. The element was near powder. It is soaking right now. Do you want it left natural? I can blast it. No charge. Do you want the fittings back? I can clean them up and put them in the box for you. I’ll have it done tomorrow. Option B is in effect.
Thanks,
Rick

Thank you SP. You’ll need a reducer fitting and then a 1/8” NPT Male-Male Nipple into the carb. Take it to your local NAPA and have them help you with the reducer.
