Maybe more the filter further from the exhaust heat? IDK it might be OK there because it is in the air stream when the car is moving or fan is turning. I know thats close to factory but factory didn't have those headers. maybe a heat sheild under it?


Or loosen and rotate the fitting on the carb upward to get more clearance to the manifolds...
