Blower to carb bonnet hookup???

Im in the process of converting my car from efi to carbureted and i am almost done except for hooking the blower to the carb bonnet. The pipe that is on there origionally ran to the throttle body but i cant use it now. I am needing a pipe that will go from the blower to the carb bonnet that has a spot for my blow off valve. I have searched everywhere with no luck. Has anyone ever done this or know where i can get the pipe that i need? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Adam

Why can't you use yours? Can't you turn the bonnet a bit more and use a bigger silicon coupled?

Well inside the bonnet is a blade that goes through the middle. If i try to put it at the 9 oclock position the divider hits the 2 overflow tubes sticking out the top of the carb. The way you are describing was the way i planned to do it until i ran into this issue.

Can it be modified with grinding?

it is hot rodding, it is meant to be upgraded!! Get the grinder out and make it work. You are going to spend more than that trying to find a fabbed pipe.
