WOW, that F.I. Conversion & that air cleaner assy. Is AWESOME….

Would love to hear more about that air cleaner, I’m sure a lot of us guys who completed or are currently upgrading there cars to Rochester F.I. Would love to hear how u went about building that air cleaner assy.

Could you possibly start a post with some info on that air cleaner assy. I’m sure a lot of F.I. guys would more than love to see that, not to mention what u did with that F.I. Unit & linkage assy.:-)…

Chalie,
Thanks for the complements. I would be happy to produce a write up related to the EFI conversion as well as the air cleaner detail. I will try to get something put together in the next week or two.
