Found my dads original 1971 duster!

Ya. He still says that it can’t be turned without hitting. But I think the whole assembly needs to be taken off and turned or something. He says it’s out of the way of the steering now, but it looks weird to me, facing the front of the car. Hopefully it’s ok to run it like that until I can figure it out, once I pick it up

That filter looks all mangled......I wouldn't run it that way. :(
