- Chapter 29 takes the project to installation of the intake manifold, the setup of the carb as well as an S&S stealth Air kit. I chose this kit so I could put on a stock harley air filter cover and not a mee-too tear drop S&S cover.
I had these old two piece clamps, that I did not have a lot of luck with so I went with a different setup on the manifold. The S&S ones Are better and I found them on JP cycels for 16$. To my surprise it was 16$ each!!! I found the distributor for these clams and got them for half price.

While waiting on the clamp, I snuck in the low side chain tensioner work....
I had to get a new manifold as I had the old O ring manifold. Using a type C bit I ported It for VOES. The Rubber rings were per-treated with Jacks 327. The manifold was installed with the clamps centered checking for crimping. A fitting was assembled between the barb fitting and the VOES.
The carb went back on the bench to check the Jets, I had a 68/295, I replaced the 68 with a 72.
Again, the S&S stealth kit was purchased as to not reuse the ugly ass tear drop air filter cover. I follow the assembly instructions, there were no issues doing so. The installation of the carb mount necessitated a longer case bolt. Another trip to Ace solved the issue. I left some of the thread on the new bolt for a clutch cable support. Due to the carb mount, one of the carb bolts is also too short, also requiring a slightly longer bolt from Ace hardware.
The carb bolted right on with a new o-ring, and the throttle cable was connected. This is followed by the mount for the air filter with the choke level. The overflow tube added thereafter. This is followed by the new air filter secured with two bolts.A special chrome beveled hex screw was purchased at ace and the air filter was slightly countersunk, all this so my original air filter would perfectly fit like it was stock.

I think that you installed the manifold upside down. The odd extrusion point on the manifold oval shape is supposed to mate up with the like point on the carb. The S&S logo will be facing down correctly installed.
Great teacher
Glad you think so!
Haha yes indeed - the "me too" teardrop cover - can't wait to get my bikes changed over ... your setup looks SO much better. Can you tell me is that a 7" cover? 7" is all I see besides the S&S stealth covers, which I don't like too much. Anyway yours looks good. Thanks for the videos - and thanks to the camera/sound person too...great work.
Thats S&S kit only fits one particular size diameter. I believe its called out in the link added. Ill be sure to thank the camera and sound person.
those clamps you bought a known as aircraft style.i wasn't aware shovels ran a voes I thought it was a evo thing .
Voes appeared with electronic ignition
