The air is ducted into the cool air system, as I'm using my
"stock" Brazilian (paper-element) air cleaner... sure looks
sweet all repainted I must say!

btw/ the large diameter rubber piece that connects the air cleaner to
the duct is starting to crack on the sides under the clamps. No hot air
can get through at this point, but I assume it's only a matter of time.
Does anyone have a source for these?

Great diagrams! All the tin's in, so I think the jetting is the next
step...

Thanks!
