Default Whisper lid and holley filter question....

Guys, I'm installing a Whisper lid (MTI cracked) and the fit is very tight. I have the lid seated in the 4 posts in the back and in the lip in the front but the clamps in the front are very hard to close. The lid looks taller than my MTI lid in the same area. Has anyone else had this problem. I thought it was the holley filter but made no difference with the holley or the K&N. Also is the holley pre-oiled from the factory or do I need to oil it before using it? Thanks, Joe.. <img src="graemlins/camaro.gif" border="0" alt="[Chevrolet]" />

My whisper is just a tad tighter than the factory lid. Just make sure the leading edge of the LID is not hanging over the front. It should be like "underbite". I have heard the Holly is pre-oiled.

Thanks Hawk. The lid is seated correctly inside the front lip. When I close the front 2 clamps they put so much pressure down on the front of the air box that the area between the 2 straps buckels out! Joe...

I have a Holley filter and Whisper lid combo on my car. The fit is perfect and yes the Holley does come pre-oiled.
