Just one good backfire of the engine will have you cursing your oil bath as
you spend a Saturday afternoon before the major Concour tomorrow cleaning
the oily mess under your hood.  I too looked at this solution a few years
ago(after a good backfire) and did not find an acceptable one.

Deltawing filter?  The only improvement with the dry type would be if you
were going to "race the car".  I do not think that the filtering is any
better with a dry type, but I'll admit it is easier to service.  The race
cars of Carl Kiekhaefer and I'm sure others used dry filters, but you must
remember that those cars were far from what we own as production cars.

item to be a real crowd pleaser because it is so uniquely different.  The
hood goes up and a group of admirers always appear.  When asked about the De
ltawing I always explain just how rare it really is.  I'm sure you are aware
that other similar units were used by De Soto, GM and Packard in the same
era.  Keep in mind that our units are truly unique to the two years of
Letter Cars only and are different than the others I've listed.  Also look
at the price a "correct" Deltawing unit will sell for if you can locate one.
