  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Ken will this fit under a Star Wars air cleaner and base?

    Out of the Box=No.
    Although you can cut the the steel ring so that it is flat on top. It still leaves plenty of meat for choke adjusting.

    Hmm this may not work at all then. I made my own custom drop base that sits 1/4" lower than the stock SWAC to gain hood clearance since it's in a 69 Riv.

    Seeing as you got a homemade custom modified base. Why not just a slot in it?.. Or do you actually use the SWAC on the running motor..

    Mine spends it's days & nights sitting on top of one of my Wharfedale w90d. I do plan on taking it out to car shows. Only then it will come out of the trunk to be placed on the motor... Show only....

    Yes it's a daily use air cleaner not just for show.
