hi guys, well most of you know i had a tiny 4" or 5" air cleaner on my carb. i got my hands on a stock one and cleaned it up and moded it a bit.
anyways take a look @ the images and tell me if i have done somthing wrong.

but i have noticed some differences:

1: the car is quieter, no so much vroom then flooring it from a stop.... i kinda miss that it sounded awesome but that prolly was not good for the engine.

2: seems like it runs better
3: the car does not diesel when i shut it off during high revs

will this improve gas milage or proformance?

anyways here are some pictures:

Half of your air cleaner (the snorkel that's supposed to be attached to that rectangular hole) is missing. If you install one that has the snorkel, and hook it up properly, your driveability and economy will both improve.
