I hear K@N makes a filter without needing the metal housing! It's all air filter. I can't imagine it not boosting your HP. I wonder if those were smog only air cleaners in California? I read a 1967 review of the Imperial that said they were surprized at the lack of HP compared the the previous year. I wonder if this and the 5 degrees before TDC timing instead of 12-1/2 BTC is there way of cutting emissions...and HP.Chris----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Lang" <ken@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, December 28, 2006 8:12 PM Subject: RE: IML: air cleanerMy 68 New Yorker (owned many years ago) had the same air cleaner design. It didn't make sense to me how enough air could get through that small opening especially when you compare it to hugh opening in the top of the carburetor.So to allow more air to get in I flipped the entire air cleaner over and drilled a string of 1/2" diameter holes around the bottom just outside ofthe filter element. Once the air cleaner was back in place the holes werenot visible and all air that came through the new holes still had to go through the filter element. To be quite honest, I don't know if I improved anything or not. The car still ran like a spotted ape and still got 10 mpg.

Doesn't this choke the engine on my 67 Imperial? Chris ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
