Unless you guys have a suggestion, I'm planning to get one custom made as there needs to be a vacuum connection going to the Venturi Tube (brake booster) and for idle.
Andy, you can get a tight radius 90 deg aluminum elbow then use 2 silicone couplers to secure them. Is the AFM "hanging" there or is there a support to secure it? That may be part of the problem?

BTW - congrats on sorting out the major issues
