Ok, bought me a 14" air cleaner, the K&N filter is on order. One problem
though, it sits to low on the TBI. Did you have this problem?? I think I
solved mine by finding a large 5" rubber hose, approx 2" thick, at my local
hardware store. This raised up the filter enough to clear the brackets.
Took it for a test drive. Boy doesn't this thing sound hot!!! (Even with a
standard 14" filter it feels better. I wonder how much is psychological?
:-D
