Hola Class
To make it all in one statement, the 1963-1966 Imperial Air cleaner Housing
assembly is the same part number. This unit was made with a "clean" tube
and one that had a fitting for the Calif Air Package ( CAP ). They also
had a dual tube snorkel that was made in both manners for dual exhaust equipted
cars.
The later units starting in 1967 with the little hole at the end of the
long tapered snorkel is the same as the industry of that era. By this time
the CAP equipted cars was a norm. The Dual Snorkel unit was still with the
OEM dual exhaust.
