Tangent story alert:
I had a friend who had a 1983 or 1984 Camaro with a V8 (carb. and circular air cleaner/intake). He wanted forced induction so bad, that he removed the air cleaner housing, torched out a second rectangular hole and then removed the OEM air intake. He then took dryer ductwork and attached it with clamps to the air cleaner on both sides. But where would he grab inducted air from since the hood had no vents?
Who needs high beams? He removed his high-beam headlamps and somehow got a somewhat non-direct flow into the air cleaner assembly. He put screens in place where the headlights were to try and do "some" filtering. I don't remember if it made a HP difference, but have to think he had to tweak the rich/lean on that carb. quite a bit.
