New Air Cleaner
New Design Accommodates All Demon Carburetors, Including Those With Choke Mechanisms
Air cleaners are not
normally noted for their ingenuity. But this one might be.
Measuring
14 inches in diameter and supplied with a 3˝ deep filter element and featuring
a recessed base to maintain a low profile, Demon Carburetion’s newly designed
air cleaner (p/n 786004) was conceived initially to suit the latest 625 cfm
Street Demon. But senior Demon designer, Larry Tipton, cleverly introduced a
return flange to the bottom of its recessed base, at the gasket surface,
enabling it to accommodate not only the Street Demon but also all modular-style Demon carburetors,
including those with choke-operating mechanisms.
Early
Demon carburetors were principally designed for racing engines and as such had
no choke towers. Later models prepared for the hot rod market, however,
exhibited streamlined choke towers with linkages that sometimes interfered with
existing air cleaners. On this new Demon air cleaner the return flange provides
an adequate margin of operating clearance.
To
complete the air cleaner’s versatility two securing studs are supplied: 1/4˝ x
20 tpi (Street Demon) and 5/16˝ by 18 tpi (all other Demons). Because the finished
unit is capped with an attractive tri-lobe wing nut, instructions are provided
to trim the appropriate stud to length. To accommodate its universal fitting
the tri-lobe nut is counter-bored and furnished with 1/4˝ and 5/16˝ internal threads.
