I had thought about maybe mating a aftermarket base with the stock top, or modifying a base to fit the Holley. I have a couple indoor flea markets coming up in January and February so it'll give me something to look for if junk yards don't pan out. It kind of seemed to me a factory Holley and a Q-jet air cleaner are stamped differently to clear linkages, float bowls etc. Pete Geurds Douglassville, PA
