Ok i've said it before and ill say it again, I have a 1967 belvedere II with a 440 v8 and edelbrock performer rpm intake and a holley double pumper carb.
Im having trouble getting an air cleaner that fits, I already have a aircleaner base with a drop base of 1.25" made for my holley for a 14" filter, i layed the cleaner assembly ontop of the carb and laid 3 sticks of playdoh on them and closed the hood and the stick of playdoh on the center of the cleaner lid completely flattened out and the sides stayed up.
The so I flip filter lid upside down so the center of the cleaner sinks down and I proceed to lay to sticks of playdoh on it, one on the left edge and right edge and they dont bottom out but they indicated less than 1/4" space between the hood and the air cleaner lid....
Anyone solve this issue with having aftermarket intakes without having to cut a hole in the hood and install the scoop (i want to but cant afford it yet). What can I do in the mean time... I already have a base plate for the filter that lets the aircleaner sit 1.25" lower but like I mentioned before the center of the cleaner hits the hood and the sides are less than 1/4" close to touching.
