[DeTomaso] Air Cleaner

[JDeRyke at aol.com]

Foam works OK for EFI but definitely not for Weber carbs due to the 
standing cloud of fuel-air above the stacks. Carbs meter fuel without regard to 
which direction the air is flowing, and IR carbs flow air both ways. The cloud 
saturates foam air cleaners and it only takes a tiny pop to ignite. Happened 
to me twice with downdraft Webers- now I always carry a halon fire 
extinguisher aboard! TWM throttle bodies should have the same upper bolt pattern as 
Webers, I'd think. FWIW- JD
