As you can see in the day zero picture in this article, the air filter was the wrong size when we got it. Well, what we really needed was a filter that fit on the small center disk. It turned out that there was a top for the air filter assembly in the trunk. I took this down to the local auto parts store. Of course, finding an air filter for a 1963 Rambler American was difficult. I decided to be creative. One filter that looked like it might work well was a Fram CA3924. It was the only one in stock that had a smaller diameter. This filter is also in the 1985 Chevy Citation 2.8L V6 MFI, as well as other GM products. So, I can probably get this filter in the future as well. I had to do a little welding to get the bracket for the air filter to screw on correctly. I purchased a universal air cleaner hold-down kit. Search for part number 41066 at this site for the exact part I used. I cut the old bolt off of the bracket, welded the longer bolt on the bracket, and cut it to size. Here is a picture of the modified bracket:
