The Holley air cleaner bail (1/4-20 thread) is a precision fastening component engineered for Holley race carburetors and high-performance intake manifold assemblies. This stainless steel bail secures air cleaner housings with reliable mechanical hold, making it essential for engine builders, restoration specialists, and performance enthusiasts who demand factory-correct or race-proven fitment. Whether you're rebuilding a classic muscle car, tuning a street rod, or servicing competition carburetors, the correct air cleaner bail ensures your intake system remains sealed and vibration-resistant under demanding conditions.
Constructed from cadmium-plated steel, this bail delivers corrosion resistance and a clean, OEM-style finish that complements both vintage and modern engine bays. The 1/4-20 inch thread specification matches industry-standard carburetor stud mounting, allowing straightforward installation without adapter hardware. Weighing just 0.2 pounds and measuring 5.4 x 2.8 x 5.4 inches, the bail integrates seamlessly into compact engine compartments while maintaining structural integrity under thermal cycling and mechanical stress. The cadmium plating protects against rust and oxidation, preserving aesthetics and functional longevity in both street and race environments.
Technicians and hobbyists restoring vintage Holley four-barrel setups, tunnel-ram configurations, or dual-carb manifolds will find this bail indispensable for achieving secure, rattle-free air cleaner mounting. It is compatible with Holley race carburetors across multiple displacement and fuel delivery platforms. Installation requires only basic hand tools and takes minutes; simply thread the bail onto the 1/4-20 stud and tighten to finger-tight plus a quarter turn to avoid stripping. Keep a spare on hand for emergency rebuilds or when upgrading your carburetor package.
