Hey everyone just wanting to know how many inches are between the top of a carb (where the air cleaner sits) to the hood.On a stock 440 in a 73-74 Roadrunner/Gtx/Satellite with the power bulge hood.
I'm worried my new set up will not clear the hood.My K&N air cleaner sits level with the cowl.

Ive got an Air Grabber set up on mine and with an Edlebrock Performer 440 manifold, I still had to drop from the stock 2.75" air filter to a 2.25" to get it to clear.

You've got the biggest air filter I've ever seen there

Ha ha yeah I know,I do have a drop pan hiding under that filter that helps move the filter lower. I have a power buldge hood and I know it will clear near the fire wall,it's the sloped part or the hood I worrie about.
 
I tried the fitment of the hood today and the air cleaner clears :) but the distributor doesn't ha ha oh well.
