I bought one, but could not use it.  I also bought the Cobra head.   What I did was to make the straightener in the cobra head.  I cut two pieces of aluminum and cut a notch then riveted them into the cobra head.



You need to play around with the position of the vanes to find the best position.  I found that 'X' was the best for my installation.  My number 5 cylinder always run lean.  Once I place the vanes in the number 5 cylinder still ran lean, but I tilted the carb and it richen to the point that both 5 & 6 run about the same temps now.  Both five and six run leaner in cruise, but rich at full throttle.
