I am the owner of Bill Butlers Auburn. I happened to notice recently that there is no air filter and did wonder if I was needing to pick one up. The car has been repainted and the interior and top redone this past year and I wondered if the air filter may have gotten lost in the process. Can't recall if there was a filter on the car when I bought it nearly 2 years ago.

Ken,

I don't believe the 8-98 was supposed to have an air cleaner. The early 8-100's didn't have one either. That said, if you drive the car, having an air cleaner is certainly a good idea.

31 Auburn Air Cleaner? was created by Ken Dorn
Does anyone know if any of the 31 Auburn 898A's came with an air cleaner on the Schebler TX carburetor? I have one on my Auburn but do not see it in the parts manual. *** I just noticed in the judging notes the air cleaner was offered in later 31 Auburns.***

With that said, does anyone know how the connection was made between the air cleaner and the rear tappet cover ventilator tube? Was this a flexible tube or a fixed tube - what material? Both the ventilator tube and the air cleaner have a 5/8" inside diameter connection.

Any input on this would be appreciated.

Thank you.
