Air Maze vs. No Air Maze

[RTC1930]

I have been runnung without a filter and was on the fence over adding one but figured I would try this one from snyders. I just put it on last week so I have not taken the car out with it yet but the element size is huge so hopefully I wont need to re-adjust carb.

I hated it when I first took it out of the box because its made of hardware store parts but after I put it on the car it actually doesnt look half bad since it tucks nicely under the fuel bowl as if the spot was design for it. Still sticks out like a sore thumb as modern though. I plan to replace the hose clamps with the "wire" style to make it look slightly more vintage, if at all possible. Worst case I'll just pull it off if I go to a model A meet to pacify the purists.

It points up not down to hopefully combat the gas issue and has a small weep hole in the bottom to allow it to drain if it does start loading up. Obviously this lets "un-filtered" air in but oh well.
