I absolutely hate buying things online and when you get it , it doesn't fit. I got a new aircleaner, and now I can't close the hood. I knew a guy with a 72 and he had the same intake and carb I do..he bought the aircleaner I got and had no clearance problems. I have to wonder what's so different about a 72's hood. next time I see Ray's car I'll have to look at it more closely

I wanted to do that.. but I have too many questions.. like how do you get a filter element? or do you buy a filter element and build the box around it? I guess it won't matter soon as I plan on stuffing an LS1 in there.

For me, I usually mock the whole thing up in cardboard first to get the basic design concept worked out (mounting, hood clearance, etc...). Then I find a element that will fit my needs, and make and any changes to the cardboard one that it might need. Then transfer it all over the steel or aluminum and make it happen.

that's a bummer, T. i dunno how many times we've bought aftermarket parts and either had to modify it to make it work, or it just wouldn't work at all. soooo frustrating.
