C1 Fuel Injection

[Leonard Gionet]

Hello,I need some help. I have a 1962 FI car built in October of 1961. Currently, I have no air cleaner for the fuel injection system, and I want to purchase the correct one. After reading the Noland Adams book I feel the correct one would be the 1962 air cleaner not the 1961 air cleaner even though the car is an early car. What do you think?

Contact Dale Pearman. If anyone can give you insight into a 62 FI car, it would be Dale.

I own 62 #2272 an original F.I. car. It's an early Nov. 61 car with a small X air cleaner. Rich

Large X for Oct build car. The cutoff has been verified on bowtie cars and is carried in the Judging guide

Re: C1 Fuel Injection

Sorry Bill. I've owned this car for 30 years and the small X was on it when I got it. I'm aware of what the judging guide says but ?

Re: C1 Fuel Injection

My 2 cents worth. Tech Manual, I believe calls out changeover from large X to small x about VIN 5200 +/-... VIN 5273 had a large X when I bought it, which fits. Can I prove it came that way? Of course not, but thought I'd mention it.

Re: C1 Fuel Injection

Rich, I saw a posting from you on March, 5 in regards to the proper FI air cleaner. I own a 62 S/N #2254 an original F.I. car I think. It is also an early Nov. 61 car. You are the first member I have seen with a s/n so close to mine.. Would you mind sharing with me the info on your car? and is your radiator date stamped on the radiator or on a metal plate? Just trying to find Originality on my car.

Thanks,
Danny

My #2266 was owned by the same person from 1965 till last year--the AC has never been off-- still has the original hose attached to the fender--it is a large X. 20 years ago, when we did the 2nd iteration of the judging manual, we documented an original owner car (5199 if I recall) that had a large X. That's the latest we've documented. We've also documented many small X cleaners earlier than that. I believe that they began phasing those in some time in November, and didn't finish the change until late December-early January.
