Custom Air Cleaner Wing Nuts

I believe that on some years in the late '60s, Imperials had a nice chrome or aluminum plate on top of the engine air filter which said The '67 and '68 Imperials used an anodized aluminum insert that went between the air cleaner cover and the wing-nut and they simply read "I M P E R I A L" in a semicircle running around the insert. Mine seems to be anodized in a goldish finish. Yeah, I think I know where you can find one of these IMPERIAL airI have seen this piece in factory photos of '66 Imperials and, since our '66 doesn't have one, I have always been on the look out for one. I found two at the Chrysler Bay Area Fall Classic showThere was a man there, John Weaver, who had a booth inHe had two of these Imperial air cleaners complete with the plate that read IMPERIAL. I talked him into selling me just the plate without the air cleaner. Of course I picked the better of the two, but it's not perfect and has some rust stains and dents in it.

My brother came down from Edmonton yesterday and had picked up some parts for me, that I had bought from a fellow up there. But when I went to pay my brother it was $15.00 more than we had settled on. that he picked up a new still wrapped in paper pie plate with the word The '67 has one of those Imperial pie tins.

I have an in line 6 200cui ...with a 1barrel carb. No it will not. Will this work with an a edelbrock carb Will the fit on a 302 motor in a 67 mustang with a holley carburetor Yes it will fit. does this air cleaner fit the 2.3 liter carb. i am lookin for one for my car? No this will not fit. Is it at all possible to substitute the Ford wingnut that comes with this kit with the KW1364 black, running horse wingnut when ordering this air cleaner? You can use KW1364 with the air cleaner, but we can't substitute that in place of the one in the kit. You'll have to order KW1364, separately, along with the kit.

Motorcycle Performance Guide does not recommend drag pipes or porker 2" pipes for serious street engines, but the performance fix listed here will improve the power of your drag pipes. Results have been confirmed by dyno results. If it is loud, it must be fast? If you are serious about making horsepower on the street with your Harley-Davidson, drag pipes will not fit into yourSerious street power requires a serious exhaust system. Exhaust systems like the SuperTrapp 2-1, Hooker, White Bros. E-series 2-1, Vance&Hines, Khrome Werks and Cycle Shack 2-2 Slash Cut exhaust have a long track record of "making

The familiar sound of a drag pipe may be music to a "bikers" ears, but the performance rider hears the labored acceleration as the motorcycle moves by. Drag pipes do have their place. the drag strip where the engine runs in a very narrow RPM band. street, stick with proven winners. Dyno testing of exhaust systems for EVO and Twin Cam engines is now available. EVO Exhaust Twin Cam Exhaust The first item to get modified or changed on most new Harley-Davidson motorcycles isGetting the proper Harley sound always seems to require increasing the decibel level out the exhaust, with many riders installing drag pipes as the exhaust system for the proper sound. The rider often believes that by reducing back pressure in the exhaust system the engine will also increased power. As a resulting of changing a stock exhaust system to Drag Pipes, most engines promptly lose 5-10% of the power the engine produced. By properly re-jetting the carburetor and adding a free flowing air cleaner to

an engine with drag pipes, the maximum horsepower produced will improve over the stock engine. a difference between usable power and maximum horsepower. The maximum horsepower of two engines may be similar, but the horsepower torque curves may be different. The area under the horsepower and torque curves defines the "power" the engine produces. area that is under the curve, the better the power. A typical drag pipe produces a horsepower curve that initially rises very slow. RPMs start to rise above mid-range power, the curve begins to rise at increasing rate until maximum horsepower is achieved. Once RPMs have passed maximum horsepower, the curve The horsepower curve of a typical 2-2 pipe like the Cycle Shack Slash Cuts produces a curve that may actually be closer to a straight line from low RPMs up through the rpm that maximum horsepower is produced. Once maximum horsepower is achieved, the curve drops at a The horsepower curve of a typical 2-1 pipe like the SuperTrapp starts off slightly

lower than the 2-2 pipe, but rises at a rapid rate in the mid rpm ranges. As the rpm range approaches maximum horsepower, the curve flattens out. Once maximum horsepower is achieved, the curve drops of rapidly.It is loud and it isn't fast! If your taste in bike styling requires that drag pipe must be used, there is some hope to getting back some of that lost low to mid rpm power. Here is a poor boys trick that will make your drag pipes work much more effectively. This setup can actually be tuned to meet the performance needs of the bike. Make a tunable baffle by purchasing a 1/4"x1" thumb screw or taking a 3/4" outside diameter washer and weld it to the top of a 3/4" x 1/4" a 1/4" hole about 1" from the end of the drag pipes. Take the tunable baffle and place a 1/4" nut and a lock washer (away from the large washer) the on it. insert your tunable baffle into the exhaust pipe like the example below. Visitors to the Bike Tech

WEB site constantly provide improvements to this idea. If you don't have access to welding equipment, try this handy little trick sent to me by Nick What I used was 1/4" x 1" thumb screws which can readily purchased at any local hardware store for about $ 0.50 aThe "football" shaped head on the screws measure approximately 3/4" x 1/2" so they have about the same surface area as the 3/4" o.d. washer because of the lack of the hole. And they do not require any It is amazing what a little creative thinking can come up You can tune the baffle by changing the angle of the thumbscrew or washer to the exhaust pipe. For maximum torque, the washer will be at 90 degree angle to the pipe. For maximum horsepower the washer will be parallel How well does this work? Bike Tech received a dyno run sheet from Gene P. that just showed what happened by changing the angle of the thumbscrew. Three runs were done. Thumbscrew parallel to the pipe (run 7), 45 degrees to pipe (run 6) and 90

degrees (run 5) to the pipe. Judge the results for yourself. This also shows you the benefits of dyno tuning something as simple as your exhaust system. Run 7 (open or parallel to the pipe) Makes the most power, but has a huge hole in the power band just above 3000 RPMs While run 5 makes the lowest horsepower (approximately 68), the 2500-4000 RPM power is the highest. This is the RPM band that most riders spend there time Run 6 improves the 3000-4000 RPM horsepower drop over run 7 without any significant drop in maximum power. Where did this come from? This isn't some new technology that was just discovered. Any rider who remembers the Honda 250 and 305 Scramblers of the 70's should be quite familiar with the technology. addition to tuning the power band, it also adjusted the amount of noise that came out theIt was a well know trick when it was done by Honda. For those of you who are willing experiment more, the size of the washer can be

increased as can the size of the hole in the washer. A strong spring can be used to hold the washer in place in relationship to the pipe and a "wing nut" arrangement can be used to adjust the angle of the washer. I want to thank Terry for remembering this trick and bringing it to my attention. He was looking for some additional power from this bike. The cost of a new set of pipes was not in his budget at the time so the following suggestion was made by the Motorcycle Performance Guide staff "If you want to use the 'poor boy' trick to make your drag pipes work better, just drill a 1/4" hole about 1" from the end of your drag pipes then put a 1 1/4" by 1/4" bolt through it with the shaft inside the drag pipe. 1/2" of washers inside the exhaust on the bolt then add a lock washer and nut. Tighten it down and take if for a ride. This should improve the mid range power, and it might have cost you $2.00 . You can actually tune the power range a little by adding or
