The throttle butterflies in the Sniper are offset in the air cleaner base (but sit directly over the intake opening). If you use a centered adapter, you have to put the air cleaner on crooked to line it up or make new brackets. This just aligns the air cleaner back to the stock bolt-in position...

High beam is nonexistent, not that you need it.
You can put it in the thermostat housing, but will have to extend the wires:
Or, if you don’t mind draining the coolant, you can remove the block drain and mount it in that hole (the wire reaches).
ECT (engine coolant temp) goes to the TBI temp sender.
I’ve used stock plugs. I think DUI recommends plugs with a wider gap if you’re using their distributor, but I doubt it makes an actual difference.
