<VV> Highrise air cleaner

[Dennis & Debbie PLEAU]

I used to be responsible for a machine at work where air flow was extremely important.  As I remember it when air is a duct is forced to make a turn it takes 6 duct past the turn before the air flow is no longer turbulent and you can take an accurate air flow reading.  Between the turn in a Corvair air cleaner and the venturi of the carb you may have 2" or 1 duct diameter, any amount you can raise it up will help.  It isn't necessary to go 6 duct diameters in this case but an extra 2" will really help out.

  Just asking.  Why does it matter that the air has to turn 90 degrees, 
  doesn't it have to turn it at some point anyway?
