Aero was an unknown then. Now they know with the car moving, the air has boiled up and over the scoop an isn't catching anything Shelby said when he was starting back with continuation series (with historically warranted modifications) This is my pain now. I'm not able to get a decent air cleaner under this hood. So if i'm going to change it I'm not going to reinvent the wheel but .If my cars original builder had chosen a different intake manifold, like a single dominator four barrel so I could fit a single air cleaner. It's nostalgia meeting with reallity.

After testing our hood scoop....we have since learned that the reverse hood scoop sucks in a lot of air.....much more then we realized in 5he beginning.....
I’ll post some photos in a couple of days to show you the results of our testing....
