Lately I've seen several local rat rods running them setting on top of roots blowers.
Always makes me smile....

Saw quite a few of them at US 30 in the late '70s-early '80s.

I need one of those newspaper boxes for the original purpose: to keep the newspaper dry.
Does anyone still sell them?
Even double wrapped in those super thin plastic bags when thrown onto the driveway a tear always happens and the paper is waterlogged in no time.p
I have drape the wet paper over trash cans with a fan blowing air toward it.
Do not ask me what happened when I tried to experiment to microwave it dry. worked good at first, but I kept increasing the power. Have you called the paper in question and asked for one? Most daily's have them for their motor routes. Newspaper delivery was my dad's business and I have several still around, including some old metal ones. I have a couple plain brown plastic ones...

if you can't find one of those boxes, a simple piece of 4" plastic pipe "xx" inches long with a cap on the back side works good, and will only cost a couple of bucks. make a couple of simple band clamps from thin 1" strap material, and bolt it to the bottom or side of your mail box. slightly angle it downward at the front to keep the water out, or drill several holes in the bottom of the pipe.

Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread.
I have actually been banned from a Mopar related website for daring to write about what makes for a good design intake.
Where is the best airstream on the vehicle to locate the inlet opening, and what direction should it face.
For a given sized engine, rpm, volumetric efficiency, and vehicle speed, how big should the opening be
what should be the volume of the âplenumâ surrounding the carb or FI inlet to intake manifold.
what is the âram air effectâ and what simple math equation gives an estimate of it
does air flow smoothly into the engine like water does coming out a garden hose, or is it better to think of the air chopping and pulsing as extremely as the gases coming out of a machine #un barrel
do most production air inlets contain a âhidden mufflerâ
if you mount a KN style cone filter on a pipe and sell it at a 500% markup as a miracle horsepower improver are you a friend or predator to other forum users
you can get banned for discussing these subjects, or maybe I should now use the word âcancelledâ
People don't like having their biases refuted.

I saw 3 at Mason Dixon last night. Mine and 2 others. Cheap, work great. I guess I could spend 250 for a lexan scoop.
