First & foremost, the shaker scoop. If you don't want to deal with finding (& painting to match) a nice 1977-up 400 scoop, you can do what I did & find a junk 400 (MUST be a 400) scoop-- NOT a 305 or 403-- and carefully drill out the rivets which hold the bottom plate on. Then transfer the bottom plate of the 400 scoop to your 301 scoop. My scoop tells the world I still have a "T/A 4.9" (well, within 3 liters anyway-- tee-hee!). The 301 scoop won't work as-is because the "hole" is designed for the smaller-diameter air cleaner & adds too much height anyway because of the shorter 301 deck. Hope this helps.
