Does the tee method allow enough clearance for the stock air cleaner?
It's already a close call with just my stock sender... I have to bend the
connecting tip down at a 90 deg. angle so the wire doesn't contact the
underside of the cleaner, which leaves about 1/4 in clearance at
most.

A 90 deg. elbow to a tee sounds like it would do the trick. Time to take
some measurements.
