Default Installing lid ?

I am installing my direct air flo lid I just got. Im having trouble getting the slots in on the back of the box. I have the K@N air filter. Is it a must to use the gasket with that filter. I think thats the problem if I took it off I think it would go on. I dont want to take the gasket off if it will allow dirt in. Help fast please. Has anyone else had problems getting their direct flo to fit right.

This is a common problem with most lids, the first time you need to just work it in slow and yes you should keep the gasket ( you should have gotten a Holley Power Shoot instead ).

Check out the Whisper lid install here: http://www.installuniversity.com/

Be sure to get the front lip of the lid in the "groove" in the lower airbox..

Finally got it in I'm glad it will get easier as time goes by because I have a block off plate I made for my fra when it rains. I normally take it out for the weekends. Thanks for the install uni link.
