Dudes,
      Alright, so I go today to pick up a Jack Secchetti(however you spell his last name) decklid prop for the bottom of my decklid.
      Then, I find out it will not work correctly with the push button latch. Only the twist latch. I would have to modify it out to catch on my decklid correctly.
      So, what if I go the CSP linkage and get rid of my CB linkage and air cleaner base plates???
      Would I be able to close my decklid completely then? Without any decklid prop?
       I will find out shortly here. I will do a mock up pretty quick and measure for myself.
      I would rather spend 109.00 for better linkage then 50.00 for a decklid prop.....
      Any thoughts??? Cheesy

Thank you Cave Man. Thanks Marty! I am running 48 Dellorto's.
  I want air cleaners for sure. One alternative would be to trim back the air cleaner base on the passenger side.
   Not sure if anyone has done this or has a picture, but it would be a option for sure.
   I wonder what the size difference is between the 40 IDA and the 48 Dellorto stacks........
