Brian it was the air filter not the housing.I found one in asheville by luck some old timer had one in the back of his shop..let me ask you a question if I put on three seperate chrome two barell carb air cleaners like the ones they sell at auto zone ,advance auto will that affect the performance ?  thanks for your interest   Joey G

Glad you came up with a filter.

If you put on 3 chrome stacks you might have less restriction which could give you a little gain in hp.
The intake sound and roar when all three are open will be cool enough to make you think it's going a lot faster, that's for sure.

Are the end carbs kicking in properly with the vacuum actuator or are you running a mechanical linkage?
