BIG BASTARD
IMG_1339.JPG I just removed Arlen Ness velocity stack style air filter and there was a black air hose connected to the mounting bracket around 3/8" diameter going back into the cylinder head somewhere
Question I have is that the D&M mounting bracket doesn't have a threaded hole for the nipple thus I have no where to go with this hose ?
Any help is appreciated

Give me a little bit closer picture of both brackets, you might be able to tap one of the holes, or drill and tap a new one. I can't see it very well in the pictures you have.

Let the hose drop between the cylinders, that's what some of us have done (including me). Others have mounted a small chrome air filter on the end of the hose and let it dangle down.

No, it's a vent hose and the white PVC tube is a check valve that lets built up air pressure vent out of the top of the head.

I believe the hose he is talking about is the crankcase vent hose. You can put a little filter on it like Brew said, but I prefer it to have a little vacuum on it.

:agree:



If you like it in the vertical position, it does work better.

If you have a hesitation at jet transition (2500-3000 rpm) you can fix that going up to .060 Air Bleed Jet.

Let me know if you need documentation/Notes on that subject.

Mine is mounted Forward, looks better to me then up, and works great. The B&D bracket should be hollow, and allow the heads to feed back into the intake. There is still a breather hose coming from the crankcase as well though, but thats not coming from the heads now with the new bracket. I have a thread where I was confused too.

Thread about breather bracket on heads/intake.
