I took apart the air cleaner today to see how gunked up it was only to find out that there was not a drop of oil in the sump. As a matter of fact, it doesn't look like there has been oil in there in 20 years.....nothing but a little bit of rust. Before I go and put oil into it, I wanted to clean the actual filter. Is there a way of doing this? What weight oil should I put into it? Has any damage been done? Should the band clamp that holds it onto the carb be tight enough that the air cleaner can't spin?
While I have you, one other question.![Smile :smile: :smile:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Can someone tell me what the short pipe is directly behind the exhaust coming off the block on the passenger side near the firewall? It is about 1 1/4" in diameter, is metal, and points straight at the ground with the end of it cut at a 45 degree angle. When I took the truck out for its shakedown run, smoke was coming out of it. My service manual hasn't arrived yet so when it does I promise to stop asking elementary questions.
