John gave a perfect answer.....so to  visualize.....think of pictures of race 
cars with "Velocity stacks".....funnels on top of the carbs....even better  
performance! But not practical on the street...

This simple modification  on MY  car.....improved fuel mileage by a 
consistent 3mpg....as well as allowing the engine to pull  to a higher rpm in 4th..

These are the only 2  "results" I can attest to.....as other modifications 
were performed prior to and after this one...

Notice the rotated Air snorkel, also cut to give a 6 sq. in. [ stock is 3"]  
opening AND  retain the Venturi effect of the original!
