Question Calling Swervin Ervin?

Mike;
I'am about to order a Ram Air kit plus other items for my 85 GMC(which is on your website thanks again!) this week. On Air Inlet Systems website it states that you need a "relief kit" to clear HEI distributers, did you purchase this with the kit on your truck and if so was it difficult to install?

Thanks Rob

Rob,

the relief kit is a piece used to fill the notch in the box. The box will make contact with the distributor cap/wires. Not by much, but it will touch. So you will need to notch it. You could make your own relief kit out of some aluminum just as easy I guess. Since I didn't use it, I really couldn't say what's involved in installing it, but I wouldn't think it would be hard to do.

I solved the whole problem when I bought my Ram Air though. I went with the 14AL/RBASE1.5, which is the spun aluminum 1-1/2" velocity stack raised base. Buying it as an option over the regular base, it was $25.00 extra.

Are you calling in your order? I haven't quite figured out their online ordering setup yet. It gives you a place to fill in everything but a credit card number. What's up with that? Maybe after you click send, it asks for the number??? I didn't mess with that and called to make sure I got the right stuff. I also didn't go with their K&N type gauze filters. They are not K&N filters, or at least this is what they told me. I just went with a regular paper filter and bought my own K&N filter for it.
