There is nothing new here that most don't already know,
Vizard sums it all up in the last paragraph.

Cold Air Box is King.

"Most", maybe, but the thread, below, shows quite a few with a different approach:

elan-photos-f18/elan-engine-bays-stock-modified-restored-and-26r-t21231.html

In addition, ramming has been found to be beneficial in some circumstances, as described in this thread:

Ref: elan-f14/air-box-elan-with-weber-t23969.html

(If we had the facility to deposit such info in the library I would have done so. But felt it was worthwhile to put it here instead)

Of course, it was written very many years ago. :roll:

Thanks for taking the trouble to post these bits of history Rick. Not everyone on here has a lifetimes experience of mucking about with Elans, even an old fart like me learned something new here only yesterday.
