I have a clearance issue with my air cleaner! I installed a Edelbrock performer RPM intake manifold and a Holley Super Sniper 4150 EFI carb! I measured from the top of carb to top of fenders and I only have about 2 1/8" to 2/14" more like 2' of clearance. has anyone installed this same set up and if so what air cleaner did you use or what are, if any, my options?
I believe I have solved my issue with air cleaner clearance on my car with Holley 4150 EFI and Edelbrock performer RPM intake! I bought a drop base and a 1/2" spacer and it seems to have enough clearance now. I needed the spacer because the drop base would not fit with out it. The true test will come when I install the hood!

Looks to me like your straight edge is showing the top of your hood, not the underside.
yea I know! I am hoping that the hood has a little crown for some more clearance. i have not put the hood on yet because I have some more work to do, but when I do I will lower slowly and put some clay on top so I can see just how much room I have, if any.
The engine is balanced but I might have to weld some straps onto the mount or put a cable from engine to frame like I did on my 65 Stang but I will wait to see after I put my hood back on!
Holley EFI Sniper? I like that cleaner! looks like I could use my decal from original cleaner on it, but it looks like a 3" cleaner to me and mine is 2" now and my drop base works on a Holley 4150 but not on the EFI carb with out 1/2" spacer.!

I wonder if any of my tips or tricks from what I did on my 71 will help? Here's the link to what worked for me.
is it a 442 hood or Cutlass? got any pics and how much and where are you located? I am in Northern Mi (Cadillac)
I've got a spare 442 hood I am keeping, and I have this Cutlass hood I could sell. Problem is getting it to you as I am in lower Indiana. I'd sell the Cutlass hood for 100, but, again, the shipping is the issue and so is the time packaging it and getting to the freight.
