Carl and Ed, see my dire warnings and advice on removing the rocker cover on the thread in the link below, post Nº9...(I haven't been called a prophet of doom in another forum for nothing...)

Whoa! Looks like I missed that one! So much for the regular ol' valve cover. Note taken!

Did they not think that the hidden from view, internal "cones" that took a lot of design by a competent airflow engineer and brings with it production and moulding complication, could just have been 3 plain holes?. Why go to all that trouble?. Those cones speed up the air stream as it enters the airbox. CV carbs are critical of not just air quantity, pressure differentials, etc but air velocity as well.

Do the internal cones speed up the air flow into the box (like drinking straws) or change the natural resonant frequency of the box (kind of like the tuning ports in a band-pass sub-woofer)? Maybe both?
