Except they don't. Another urban myth with sidedraft carbs

That's no urban myth-I've seen what they do fibreglass bonnets on highly tuned chevette hsr's

Well I'm sure it does happen, but it's nothing like as bad as people make out.

What sort of 'proper airbox' are you planning to use Carl? I don't see how sock filters are any worse than an airbox....they've both got to have an inlet!

Yeah but sock filter have a much bigger surface area open to nasty things. You should see the state of my engine bay after an event - it looks like a ploughed field!!

I'll figure the airbox out when the car's up and running with the carbs (knowing me, a long time away yet!!)
