There is a bracket on the side wall and a little nub that fits into a hole
to mount the airbox. It just seems the elbow in the hose to throttle is
just a tight fit.  If I tighten the clamp...it backs off the air box.  I am
gonna get in there this weekend and tighten somehow. Thanks.  Btw..keeping
the van.  I would miss it too much if I sold it. Thanks to all.
