The shaker for sure has been heavily messed with, but I guessed that the wing-nut brackets were the indicator of what it started it's life as.

Yes, in my book this does not add value.

The description is BS. Years ago, I built a U-tube manometer to measure pressure in the air filter housing. At cruise, the rear facing shaker made pressure above about 35 mph. The Pontiac engineers were way smarter than the internet idiots.

I was waiting for someone to say this!! He must have defied physics and air flow in his own test funnel.

The taps are poorly made, poorly welded cobbled parts. This is all very obvious.
