Reply to "Shaker scoop on engine screen. Thoughts & advice about eliminating it?"

OK, I now see the huge cut out for the distributor and you now tell us that the lip on the center screen is a tight fit but is fully seated into the U channel, right?  

I’m actually trying to put together a full set of all three pieces for an owner with an early car. In that process I have discovered there are long and short versions of the all-screen center.

It would follow there are also different lengths of the side covers. ????

this is a side cover that correctly meets with the short center screen

can you remove your side covers and measure them as I did, starting at the edge of the forward lip, using a flexible cloth tape, if you have one?

I am far from totally understanding the different variance between side covers and center covers, but I am regrettably beginning to think if you want to replace your center cover you’re going to have to use one of the later ones with the raised center bubble.
