The good book says "Air cleaner assemblies may be modified, removed or replaced. Velocity stacks ram air or cowl inductions are not permitted...."

Ok I read this as I can bend the heck out of the existing air cleaner to fit the "optinal" carb. For my applacation there is a adapter that you set on top of the carb that adapts the round hole to a square one, and then the original air cleaner sits on top of the adapter. Do you think this would be ok or do you think that I should get out the hammer and some sealer.
