The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Having trouble with high-boy air filter

This one does have 2 clamps - one around the filter end of the hose and another around the carb end of the hose. The hose will push a little over 1” on the carb opening before it hits the boss for the choke butterfly shaft, and that’s just not enough for a reliable connection. I’m thinking of attaching a strap just under the filter element for support, but need to figure out what to attach it to.
