I thought I should mention in this thread that I put the intake mod back.
I am liking it this time. :-)

I ordered some tubing to make the coupling more secure. I don't like the
filter clamped onto a rubber hose as a long-term solution.

I ordered stainless 2 3/8" tubing from www.classictube.com,
they cut it to 4" for me, but charged me for a full foot,
about $20 total including shipping.

Hope that is the right size, will let y'all know if it works.

No way to know until somebody tries it.
It is really easy on the HCH-I, if the air-box assembly and
rubber hose to the engine is similar on the HCH-II then
it will be about the same.

If things are different then you might be into custom intake
work and that would not be so easy.

One guy here did it on his insight, so I am guessing that
it will probably work.

The filter is about $30, so not much risk to experiment
and find out.

I am on my way to my best tank ever! 50.3 mpg on 507 miles. Will have to refuel soon. I have not been driving as fast and the weather has really warmed.

Man I am working on just the opposite end of the spectrum. Todays trip home from Houston was cold with 20+mph headwinds (and gusts) driving at 78 I am pulling a whopping 41mpg right now. Talk about a gutless car, my brother followed on the same route and he went from 24 to 21mpg (truck), way different then me 52-55 (the norm for the trip) to 41.

I refueled on the way home today. Best tank ever!!! 50.3 for 537.3 miles. I am so proud of myself. I controlled my speed on the way home. Didn't take that uphill like the devil was chasing me. Also best trip home ever at 57.3. :-)
