I had a shop recomend foam, high dollar air filters for my 50mm PMO 3 barrel (high dollar HUGE Weber based carbs for big HP Porsches), and I only had small momentary fires until the engine fired (when hot) but yes, the foam filters smelled like gas after runs.

Well, sure, me too, all the time.
I meant to say, do you drive with your intake holes open?
Wait, let me rephrase that again.
Do you drive your pantera with IR intake velocity stacks with no screens or air cleaners?
Not regularly but I have. That often is necessary in the tuning process of the carbs.
On yours, you have no cover over them at all so I wouldn't advise it.
You would probably be fine with a GT40 type of "cookie sheet" over them?
As far as MY intake holes, I've learned to grit my teeth. It kind of filters out the bugs. The big ones at least.
