reconnect spark plug wires. replace spark
plug wires and distributor cap if condition
looks marginal.
remove plastic air intake silencer from air
inlet hoses between air filter assembly and
engine.
using a hacksaw, cut the tapered sections
off the silencer as shown in Figure 6 .
reinstall the silencer in the air intake hoses using
the original clamps. This increases air flow through
the intake system.

the banks ram-air cold air induction components
are designed to extend the factory air intake path
so that cooler outside air can be picked up from
directly behind the vehicle’s grille. These components
include a molded banks super-scoop™, 4” diameter
flexible tubing, ram-air filter cover and installation
hardware. Figure 7 shows a typical hook-up of the
air-intake components as they tie to the factory
system. The super-scoop also serves as a water
separator to drain out any rain water that may enter
through the grille.
the banks ram-air system is intended to fit a
number of motorhome body configurations.
because each coach builder has a different layout
of behind-the-grille components, there can be
no one set installation procedure for the banks
ram-air package. The following instructions are
intended as a guideline for installing the ram-
air system. also, some coach builders may
have installed difficult to relocate components
(such as air conditioning freon piping or heater
hoses) in the areas where the banks system is
normally mounted. In these cases, the installer
will have to find an alternate location for the ram-
air components, or omit these pieces that are
impossible to mount.
remove the air cleaner housing cover.
replace the factory paper element and
filter cover with the banks ram-air filter element
and cover. use new 6mm x 40mm bolts, don’t
overtighten.
determine a location for the banks super-
scoop. It should be placed as low as
possible directly behind the grille, with the air
inlet opening pointing straight ahead. If the grille
is at an angle, the super-scoop should be trimmed
at an angle, whenever possible, to place the air
inlet opening against the back side of the grille
with the centerline of the inlet opening horizontal.
See Figure 7. use heavy snips or a hacksaw to
trim the air inlet opening of the super-scoop. The
height between the super-scoop and the air inlet
hood should be as great as possible to prevent any
