Hmm. Just went outside to take a peek under the hood and noted that the distance between my air cleaner and the valve over is small - maybe 1/2" at best.

Makes me wonder if I have done something else wrong. What holes do you mount the air cleaner mounts to on the bracket itself? There are two choices for each mount. Does anyone remember off the top of their head? I just followed the pattern that was in there and it fits without incident, but i dont know if its the right way.

Well, Ill buy some hose and be ready to mess with it tonight until I get something that works well.
