Drill a hole in the tee for your thin blade screwdriver to go thru and file/grind the two bumps to fit the locking screw on the TQ air door. Worked great at hardly any cost. Hardware store or McMaster-Carr will have the black iron pipe fittings. 1970 FE5 Duster 360/904/3.91's SOLD 1973 TB3 SpaceDuster 340/4spd/4.10's SOLD Moparless for now but when the opportunity is right I'll have another one.

I spent good money to have Scott Smith restore mine. I'm not about to muck it up because I'm too cheap to spend 15 bucks on the proper tool. If you got an old TQ, yah, then I can see it.
