Re: air clraner question

I caught it was from the side covers -- the front side cover on the earlier sixes. In 63 there was the metal tube that ran around to the intake just under the carb in the head as I described. The 64-65 196 was obviously different. I'll have to look at a 64 TSM when I get home. If I forget drop me a line in e-mail. I read the list at work and usually don't look at it at home, can't access my personal e-mail from work though.
