I would have liked to, but I only have only about 1/4" before it hits the HEI. A 45-degree coupling would have worked but I was concerned about vibration causing a fracture at the male fitting. It was no big deal to enlarge the pocket though. Got it done this morning. Thanks for trying to help! Thanks also for the compliment on the BelAir. She was re-born in 1981 and has held up pretty well.
