Re: Air Cleaner ID 46 to 48??
I'm NO 46,7,8 expert but I believe the right one and that's based on the attached picture of a 46 Tudor I once owned

Re: Air Cleaner ID 46 to 48??
Again, not an "Expert" BUT I am currently working on a 39 Merc and I am "STILL" astounded at just "HOW" different the Mercury is from a Ford in "almost" every detail. SO?????

Re: Air Cleaner ID 46 to 48??
So consensus suggests the one on the right to be the correct one for 1946. Thanks.
Just wonder now what year for one on left? Phil NZ |

Re: Air Cleaner ID 46 to 48??
I can't speak for USA cars, but this is the Oil Bath Cleaner on an Australian 1946 Ford. This is the same type that was on my Australian assembled 1946 Mercury Sedan. |

This is the cleaner on my '46 Ford Super Deluxe. Not sure if it was original, as PO's may have changed it out, but it looks like what is in the parts book

I’m with Michael on the one on the right. I have one just like it from a ‘53 I had a while ago.

Re: Air Cleaner ID 46 to 48??
The left hand one which I call the "space ship" type is what I have on mine. I got it at a swap-meet.I think it is Canadian in origin, maybe Mercury version and for a 46 but I like the look of it. I've seen so many different types on 46/48 Fords I wouldn't know what would be "correct". Use the one that "spins your wheels" Phil.
