Clamps for '74 BB A.I.R.

[Cary Lewis]

I'm trying to purchase a correct A.I.R. system for a '74 BB, P/S & A/C car and need to know the size (diameter) and number of clamps required for the hoses. Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.

I believe that there are 4 clamps used on a 1974 AIR system. Furthermore, I think that they're worm screw-type clamps of 1" size for the 5/8" ID hoses used. However, if you want a CORRECT system, you can get the correct clamps and the correct hoses from the "King of Clamps", the "irascible" (but jovial) Dr. Rebuild. He can also sell you reproductions of the manifold trees and the pump bracket.

For a correct AIR pump, diverter valve, and check valves, you'll be "on your own".

Cary 74's had dated tower clamps on the smog hoses.

My 1974 BB w/AC/PS/PB has original A.I.R. system... tower clamps.
