Do you remember the manufacturer of it? I wonder if you could even get filters for it anymore. I remember them from when I was a kid I guess.

I've got one sitting on a rebuilt engine. Like you, I've had it for years. I don't know who made it either, but I got it with one of those footprint gas pedals. :lol:

yes, these were very popular in the late sixties and early seventies. Mr. Gasket made them, as did several other companies. There should be a filter mounted in the holes in the front.
