Doc,

I have the same issue. I agree with Craig, we need to find a filter assembly that has the same attaching scheme as the trumpet. The good thing is we have room between the carb and the fuel pump. As for the breather tube, it would be nice to replicate a 60’s vintage PCV valve setup, but we don’t have a vacuum port on the carb. Short of that, it would make sense to put a small filter on the end of the breather tube and let it hang in free air.

I do remember John Cislak said he was working on something for the ’29’s and ’30’s to provide some type of air filtration. Ed, do you have an update?

David Coco, Greg, et al, any thoughts?
