You were using the L88 base with a full diameter filter and lid?

Those things were originally designed for a small screen and lid the diameter of the throat of the carb, with a filter in the hood. Just like in the picture of the one I built for dad's GTO.

Used this way they are very effective as the outside air coming in has a straight shot to the throat of the carb when the hood is closed. I think what helps this design is what I eluded to in my first post. The small lid holding the base to the carb is about 2 or 3" above the carb itself. Plenty of room. I forget how far that drop base is now, but it's alot. I would have to check but seems even a 4 inch filter wouldn't put the lid very far above the carb??
