After reading a few discussions on the breather cap and air filter inlet
pipe, I decided to tinker a little today. I cleaned the breather
cap/screen/pipe and also removed the air filter inlet pipe and front cover
from the air filter assembly. When I took the car for a run, I was startled
by the growl coming from the engine when I stepped on the gas. Is this a
normal occurrence when the air filter cover is removed? It sounded like I
had turbo-charger kicking in. I have to admit, I kinda liked the sound. And
I found the car a bit more responsive.
On another note, I unknowingly dislodged the red fuse holder (Pektron?) on
the radiator, and it got clobbered by the fan when I started the car.
Luckily, it only broke the top cover and is still functional. Any ideas on
covering it until I get another?
