Seems like I always replaced the big can on my chevy 283's with little,
CHEAP, chrome cleaners that had almost no elements. They sounded
great, too.
So, would I be better off to:
A. find (where?) real cheap replacement elements for the stock cans?
2. drill out the bodies of the stock cans? (what, 1/2 inch holes?)
c. both?
9. none of the above?
