Need some guidance, guys ...
I was made aware that Van's carries TWO different snorkels for the horizontal induction engines -- the VA-132 and the VA-132-1. The VA-132-1 has a round mounting flange instead of square, and is shorter overall, allowing the filter end to fit within the baffle side without having to cut the snorkel to fit.
The VA-132-1 also has filter mounting brackets -- W-shaped angles.
The problem is this: I can't find any instructions! I've looked everywhere, looked at Van's website (thinking that maybe there was a PDF of the instructions), and searched this site. Nothing.
Anybody able to tell me where I might find snorkel installation instructions? Or, is there somebody's website that has pics of the installation?
And, as an aside, when I called Van's to ask about this shorter snorkel, I was told in no uncertain terms that there's only ONE snorkel for the IO-360 engine. Period. There are NOT two. Funny that they have different part numbers and have different prices ...
Thanks for any help you can give.
