All engines are equipped with
conventional dry-type air cleaners
that have a replaceable filtering
element. The air cleaner body is
mounted on a sealing gasket located
on the carburetor air horn. The air
cleaner assembly is retained on the
engine 'by a stud on the carburetor
body and a wing nut above the filter
cover.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
The air cleaners, as fitted to the
6-cylinder 200 and 250 IV engines
and the 302-V8 engine, are basically
of the same design. The air cleaner
tops and filter assemblies are inter-
changeable between
engines;
however,
the air cleaner base for the 302 CID
engine, whilst being similar to the
air cleaner as fitted to the 6-cylinder
engines, is not
interchangeable.
The 250-2V engine has a unique
air cleaner with a peripheral air
intake.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE
Refer to Group 19 for the air
cleaner assembly recommended
maintenance mileage interval.
REMOVAL
1. Remove the wing nut retaining
the air cleaner assembly to the car-
burettor.
2. Remove the air cleaner ass.!mbly
from the carburettor. To prevent
dirt from entering the carburet-
tor, the filter element must never
be removed when the air cleaner
body is mounted on the car-
burettor.
3. Remove the air cleaner cover
and filter element. Discard the air
cleaner mounting gasket if it is
excessively worn or damaged.
4. Inspect the air cleaner filter as
:lescribed on page 10-13.
INSTALLATION
1. Install a new air cleaner mount-
ing gasket on the carburettor if
req\lired.
Note: A heavy duty air cleaner
package which fits over the existing
filtering element
is
available for the
6-cylinder engine.
OPERATION
Air from the engine compartment
enters the air cleaner assembly
through the opening into a silencing
chamber and passes through the filter
element. Dust particles are trapped
in the filter element as the air
passes through it. After leaving the
filter element, the air is deflected
down into the carburettor.
2. Position the air cleaner body
on the carburettor, ensuring that the
body is properly seated on the gasket
and located correctly on the car-
burettor.
3. Place the filter element on the
air cleaner body. Make sure the
filter
is
properly
seated.
The word
TOP
is
indicated on the filter element,
make sure the word TOP faces up.
Install the cover and tighten the
retaining wing nut.
