It goes inside the air filter.

Hmm. I wonder if I can make it fit in there. What's the purpose of it though? To arrest flames? I seriously don't see my small block shooting fire at my face from the butterflys.

It's there incase of a back fire out of the carb. I believe it's required in marine applications.

My dad didn't run the one that came on his boat either when he built the 355 for it. However, he never got pulled over on the water. I kind of think it's like spark arrestors for dirt bikes. You're supposed to have one and if the pull you over and check you end up with a ticket. I'm not 100% sure on that though.

Nice. I really like the yellow spark plugs.

Just like the muffler law the turbos may be considered a arrestor too, we've been stopped plenty times with nothing about the arrestor. However we did get kicked out of puddlestone for doing 110 :huh:

Ya I was too lazy to mask and remove stuff. So I razor bladed mating surfaces and used a 3M pad on the spark plug tips. I did do a nice job on the paint though. Cleaned the block off real nice, thanks to Ben, scuffed and primed it too.

Did I mention that I was thinking about turbo-charging this engine??? Or is that a coincidence that you are talking about turbos?
