Darrell:
I've experienced this same problem. I was still able to secure the
cannister and (too thick) filters to the carbs. In the process the paper
elements were crushed a bit contributing, I believe, in part to too rich
running and flow restriction. I'm converting to K & N filters as soon as I
sort out some timing difficulties.
Good luck with your car.
Best regards,
