Nice. But... my 4160 has a metering plate, instead of a block, on the secondary side. The low profile base will not fit back there -- the float screw gets in the way. |

Why fool around. Time for a 4100 Dominator.
I'm thinking about ordering one of Bernica/Mickmate's setups just for kicks. If all else fails, and I piss away $300, then I have thread to moan and groan about it and up my post count like Patrick. 
The one negative is that it won't look original like the rest of my car. |

Drill a same-sized hole in the base.

Send a pic of your carb setup without the air cleaner on it. Maybe can still help.

I think that new lid is just going to bolt on down to what I've got. But if not, then I'll get out the Sawz-All. |

Well it won't; but I have an idea.  In the meantime, I made it look more aluminum and less black. I'll need a new 9" filter, with a 7" ID, and then I'll have to modify the existing base. It should fit... I think.
