Fellow Forward Lookers,
I finally have new plug wires that have the long insulators and long enough wires to fit under the spark plug cover attached to the valve cover..Spark plug covers are on and OEM air cleaner is now attached to carburator...how does the old air cleaner get attached to the engine? Anyone have a picture of the bracket used that goes from the air cleaner to the engine? Also my old OEM air cleaner is red...is that stock for a 57 Chrysler New Yorker?
thanks,
billy

I believe some two barrel V8 carbs had a circular clamp at the base of the air cleaner. However, being a 57 that might be different, i.e. a stud down the middle of the carburetor and then a wing nut.

Is yours like these?:

That's different, I've never seen a red one. They came black from the factory. I purchased a set of brackets from "rebel" on this site. They were excellent quality. You can see a thread about them here:

Hey Gents,
Do those air cleaner brackets attach to the spark plug cover or the valve cover? I can't tell by those photos...
Thanks,
bill

They attach to the spark plug wire covers.
If you look in the Wanted section under "392 Hemi air filter brackets", original post by FINS, you will see my engine compartment with good pictures of the brackets and their location.
