:laughing4: I hate when things get ''cattywampus''. 'cuz when they do I have to mess with the Canardly valves, and there usually so tight I can hardly turn 'em.
Mopar Performance sells that priming tool, if you don't want to make your own. It isn't to crazy expensive, and works great with a 1/2'' drill.
I wrapped electrical tape around the one I have to help protect the dist. bushing where it goes through.
I had that problem with a '64 Imp. I found an adapter set at Autozone (I think it was) to fit the factory air cleaner to an Edelbrock. It lifted the air cleaner a little higher than I liked, but at least I did't have to go to an aftermarket housing.
