Re: [AMC-list] Scratch the Weber Jeep Kit for '65 Americans

[Davis Martin <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try a JW Air Bell and a K&N filter lid. thats about the same height as the carb 
top. Worked great on my 401 but not sure they make an air bell to fit the 
webers?

You're in Georgia, you don't need no stinkin hood.
Always thought a firechicken setup offset to the drivers side would be cool!
I can send you a router bit if needed!

Honestly, sorry it don't fit bummer.
