Default open element under hood Questons/HELP

Summit sells 5-6 inch long s bolts 1/4-20 studs
Questions:
do i need a 1-1.5 raised base to clear the obstucles?
what size base do I need 5 1/8 or 7 5/16?
What max height filter?


thank you

Make your own S bolt from 1/4" 20 threaded rod
Need 5 1/8" opening in the base
Max as far as I know is 1/2 drop on the base and that will allow you to use a 3" tall filter.

If you have a 52mm tb the S bolt needs to be a bit longer.

where on the stock tb do you mount the stud?
Just went back to the summit got the base/top summit pieces and a k&n filter and my grandad told me he has the rod

Listen about the spacers again My cousin ran in to a guy at the local flea market and brought the spacer for me (w/o me knowing) for $3.

14" dia/2.75" tall element

I going to put the 180* themostat on tomorrow and junk that 195*

Dont waste your time with the tb spacer, put it on ebay. You will not be able to fit the 14x2.75" filter under your cowl if you add the spacer. To get a filter that size to fit, need to have a 1/2" drop base.

The threaded rod screws into the hole between the 2 butterflies.

I changed my order 10" rd/2" high k/n . My tax returnshould be coming in pretty soon and I think about upgrading to a 52mm fastman tb[8D][sm=gears.gif]
Then I also think about getting either a stage 2 chip or a Force SSbull bar!

The spacer makes a nice marker bouy anchor

Guy ... you need to stop dreaming about installing a chip. You'll be wasting your cash.

alright alright i won't get the chip
i couldn't do the headers, cylinder heads unless i paid someone else for install
I'm only 19 with no garage, advance tools or a job that provides the $$$ nor do they give me any time off, nor do my parents think I'm the do any thing for a buck hot rodder .
Which reminds me I don't need to blow the dough on useless items and if what yall say about the chip,spacer,ect,ect....ARE true, I need to listen to yall and shut my mouth before it gets me in the hole.

Any tips for making the bends in the threaded rod to make your own s-bolt? The rod broke on my first attempt at beding it. Do I need to heat it or use any special technique or anything?

Thanks for any ideas.
