Trivia
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.
