1969 cowl hood?

Anybody know where I can grab a cowl hood for a 1969 cutlass supreme? I added an Edelbrock RPM performer intake and am having Clearance issues.

Glasstech or VFN should be able to help.

I just ordered a regular air cleaner do you still think it will give me enough clearance?

check the total height ,intake, carb spacer if there,carb and air cleaner then if needed order a dropped air cleaner. that is why it is a dropped air cleaner base. use foam to check against the hood clearance with tape to hold the height. close lightly though.
