Is the 67 HO base a good transition like the dual snorkel or is it flat and bad for air transition?

KSZR, the '67 base is well designed like the other factory 4-bbl bases.

Well, the Prize Patrol kept driving right past my house today.

The repro Chevy open-element base did not work out. I liked it a lot but it interfered with too many things - the throttle bracket, a vacuum line, and my ignition coil were all "in its space". It had a nice slot that keyed the base to the QJ but this locked the vent tube in an awkward spot to route the breather hose.... so I'm sending it back.

I did order a molded/channeled rubber gasket I was going to use with the Chevy base but it also fits the Moroso base I still have. I'm hoping it adds enough height to eliminate the interference with the QJ pump lever that was one motivation for making a change. I'll know tomorrow...

Better today... just to close off, the rubber gasket did raise the base enough to clear the accelerator pump lever. The U-turn breather mess is ugly.

For now, I've got bigger fish to fry so I'll leave this as-is until I get motivated to spend what it takes to do it right.

Thanks again for all the help.

Here's my bad plumbing to fix a bad design. Good enough for now:
