OK... does anyone make a correct air filter element for these?

Does anyone have the WIX or NAPA Gold part numbers for the 1958 or 1959 Dual quad oval air cleaner elements? Are they different part numbers for 1958 and 1959? I ask because I have come up with varying results looking online. -Gregg B.

I am assuming that going to 11/32" or a 15/32" hose from a 5/8" hose wont affect the amount of vacuum going to the booster. Of course, the 5/8" heater hose on there was already collapsing, so it's got to be better than it was...

The hose fitting is right around 1/2", give or take 1/32":

Well, I got the new hose today. However, I have a hard time believing that this 11/32" hose is correct for this. I tried to get it on the fitting, but it is just too small to fit. This new hose I have is clearly marked as 11/32". I've shown pictures of the 5/8" heater hose that was on there...

I doubt that the fittings were changed, as they would have to make changes to both fittings on the tank, as well as the one on the booster and the intake manifold. I have some 11/32" vacuum hose coming from NAPA today. I'll report back after then. -Gregg B.

Thanks, John. Here is what it looks like now:

Maybe... not sure... don't have a later car to compare.

Well, unfortunately, the last person used heater hose instead of vacuum hose, so it's not correct to begin with.

Can anyone tell me the size of the vacuum hose between the brake booster and the vacuum canister, as well as the hose between the manifold and the canister? This is on a 1958 Imperial. -Gregg B.

Can you show me where you ran the cable for the remote mirror through the firewall and rear of fender?

Can anyone show me the route for the cables through the inner fender and into the cabin on a '58 Chrysler or Imperial? Photos would be optimal.

Did Mopar cars even have a remote outside mirror in 1958? While doing some research, I cannot confirm this. It looks like the remote outside drivers funder-mount mirror did not debut until 1959 (fall of '58 for '59 models). -Gregg B.

I'm looking for a set of wire wheels and tires for a stock '58 Imperial. The wire wheels would be the classic-looking Chrysler style wire wheels with spinners. I'm thinking getting 15", even though the original wheels are 14". Or, is that a bad idea? Also, I may want to go with a new modern...

I'm looking for a source to decode the "fender tag" on '57-'59 Chryslers and Imperials. Is there something available out there? -Gregg B.

I got the new 800cfm AVS2 installed and I will say it is a noticeable improvement over the stock Carter (750 cfm). It definitely has better throttle response, albeit some of that can be attributed to the properly working accelerator pump. It was almost plug-and-play, with some adjustments made...

Everything I have been reading from Edelbrock, including online and in the manual, says to NOT connect the choke to the alternator. ran a wire to the fuse block, connecting to one of the fuses not being used (radio, in my case).

Thanks, guys. I'll do some driving around/testing tomorrow when I have time. Anyone know the best place to wire in the electric choke? I've heard some plug into the ballast resistor. However, I'm not sure that a good idea. I'm going to try to find someplace on the fuseblock.
