Should i get such an ugly airfilter from an original engine?
What do all the other people with open airfilters do?
Is there a carbspacer of any other material than aluminum or steel?
Many questions! Maybe somebody can help?!

hot air wont start haha ..do you have a edelbrock carb ?? I had a brand new one ..when you drove the car sometimes it would act like it was flooding out then run great and sometimes when it was hot it was hard starting oh no choke in 100+ weather i took the top off the carb and it had metal shavings in it i run a filter at the tank then one before carb it was brand new in the maching process it had pieces of that chrome crap in it
