This is probably some stupid question, ( as I am an amatuer )  but how does air get into that aircleaner I see no air access recessions and am not familiar with the cleaner? I have the duel snorkel. I  also love the way your engine compartment looks it is nice and clean, Is that a stock intake manifold? and what carb are you running. Did you modify your distributer to eliminate the orange box that comes with the electronic kit?  The green is simply stunning.

H GranCuda, air enters the air cleaner from the bottom.  there is an (about) one inch gap all around the circumference  for air passage. The intake is stock Mopar cast iron and the carb is a Carter Thermoquad 850 cfm.  I elected to keep my firewall "clean" and mounted the orange electronic box on the right side by the horns as shown in one of the pictures.  Thanks for the comments.  PK

If you want new rear springs that will jack it up a bit, I bet these will fit the bill and is local (save on shipping):
