Air-cleaner base modification

You can modify your air cleaner base for more under-hood clearance (perhaps 7/16"), even if it has a drop base. I cut the inner ring that rests on top of the carb horn, this lets the base sit flat.

Then I needed to make room for the fuel adjusting nuts. I added (I brazed mine, but Silver Solder or JBweld might work) pieces of 1" conduit and then capped them. The all important carb base to top distance remains the same.

That's all there is to it!
