I'm putting my '49 8N back together after installing a late-model steering box. I put my hood back on, and cannot get the air intake on the hood to line up with the hole at the top of the oil-bath air cleaner/filter canister. The canister hole is about 1/4" further forward than the donut, so there is a gap at the sides between the hole and the donut.
I've slid the canister as far back as the mounting holes will allow. I don't recall this gap before I took it all apart, but the hood and canister seem to be mounted properly.
Any suggestions on getting a seal, or at least what is supposed to pass as one?
thanks.
