    Getting my steering wheel straight after tie rod/drag link install

    So, a few years back I updated the steering linkage on my '76 from Y to T and then had front end aligned. But after my steering wheel was a 1/4 rotation off and just let it go.

    My K&N Air Filter is to low. Spacer?

    Just bought this and tried to put it on and as you can tell by photos, the bottom pan is lower than my carburetor. It looks like it needs a 1 inch 2 inch spacer. Do they make these? Is it better to return and get a different one? I do have a 3 inch body lift and I don't think the hood is an issue.
