idk if id go back to that shop...
On a slightly related note, I felt like showing off, and since some people want a better idea of how air gets from outside the car to the intake itself, so...
It goes in where you can see through to the boxes.

My shaker has been installed, however, it is now behaving somewhat oddly. Though the engine has 138000 miles it operated perfectly until I recieved the vehicle back from the body shop yesterday (it was there for about 3 weeks). When parked and idling the engine speed tends to fluctuate from 500 to about 700. It sometimes has a hard time maintaining even that speed and starts to drop below 500. The engine has completely died on me twice at idle and once while reversing at low speed with the AC running. It never behaved this way before. I looked over the installation and haven't noticed anything wrong with it. I let the car idle without the just the airbox (shaker and air filter removed) and it still behaved this way. Any ideas what could be wrong? The only other issue I came across was I noticed one of the four threaded parts on the airbox that the bolts screw into was somehow torn in half (perhaps overtightened). I only have 3 of the 4 bolts securing my shaker now. The shaker looks and sounds cool. With the window down you can actually hear the air sucking into it at times.

I took another long drive in the car today and again no issues to report. Everything worked perfectly. I definetely recommend this kit. After I installed it correctly it functions great.

Ok here are a couple photos. I tried to post them before but was unable to for some reason. I got it too work this time. I'll post a close up of the hood closed once I get my new screaming chicken decal installed. It should be here any day now.

Do you think there is a way you can make something work for my 3" VFN SS hood, i actually want my scoop to be functional. As of now it just decipates hot engine air. So if you can make this work for my scoop as well im in for one :]
Subscribed for pics btw :]

There are plastic plugs attached to the rubber weather strip that attach to holes in the shaker scoop. Some weatherstrip adhesive was also used to help seal it. The shaker scoop is an original from a 1979 and the weatherstrip is a stock reproduction part.
