Someone please confirm what I'm thinking:

You can't put a Monte Carlo bar on Mustang with a 6-cylinder engine?

My straight one hits the breather. A guy at Dallas Mustang said he didn't
think the curved would fit either because the breather is not centered in
the engine compartment. I had never heard that it couldn't be done but that
appears to be the case. Am I right?

*Anything* can be done. You could maybe use an arched one meant
for a Paxton car, and have it rearched to clear your breather...
or just have one made from scratch...

Walt who?

A straight bar fits in my 65/200 engine bay with room to spare. I have a
smaller and better looking high performance air filter on the sucker
though... perhaps thats the way to go.
