Have an Edelbrock RPM intake, Quick Fuel carb on my 400. Also have a Mopar Performance air cleaner. I'm sure someone has ran into fitment/clearance issue, for the hood, and what you did to remedy it. Is there a different base to use for the air cleaner? '71 B body. I'm not at home right at the moment. I have a good friend who is giving a helping hand since I'm deployed and he put my hood on, running into this issue. Thoughts/advice?

Thanks!
 
Drop base air cleaner needed? Not too up on it, but Thanks for your service; Semper Fi!
 
If your using an unsilenced air cleaner here ya go!

You need a 1.25" drop base. Don't think they are made for the mp filters though. Go to a 14" and there are several possibilities.

That's what I'm thinking oldbee. Thank you for service as well, sir. To all, yes, the service members still report to work regardless if government is closed.

Cool. That's a new product that wasn't available a few years ago when I was dealing with this issue.
 
Apologies, thought you said eddy carb, missed the QF part. I have Holley with electric choke and that fit great. Supposed to be one of the least restrictive drop bases there are.
My Quick Fuel, 4 bbl, is now ran by Holley. The link you posted says "Does not fit Edelbrock carbs with electric choke". My QF carb has electric choke

No worries on my end. I appreciate the info. I just need to drop it about an inch(?)
 
Rod, I have a few bases in my stash. Let me know if you or your on-site assembler need pics.

I appreciate it, Leanna. Send me pictures please, or post them. I have an "unsilenced air cleaner". Nothing goes to it, just opened to the atmosphere like in the photo I posted. In fact, Leanna did my powder coating for it :lol:. I just need to drop it by an inch or so. It might come down to a different base and slightly shorter filter as well, don't know
 
Let me ask Billy -- they arent where I left 'em. Probably snagged up for a project when I wasn't looking ... I could pay him back by offering up the Lil John's one heh hehhhhhh but it's part of a SBC set.

That's the same one from Mancini and what member 91r/t posted except yours is plain aluminum and Mancini is powder coated. Thanks Leanna!
