[Spridgets] What's wrong with this picture?

It looks to me like it got bent in shipping.  The bend about 3" up from the
vacuum line running to the distributor should not be there. Take that bend
out and it should line up fine.  Do you have the clamps that mount the pipe
to the intake manifold? I can't see them in your picture.
