What are you guys using for air cleaners, cant shut my hood?

[tripleblkr/t]

I have a 440 in my 69 and have the Holley street denominator intake and a Holley 700 carb and I'll having trouble finding a air clean so I can shut my hood without hitting it. What's a good air cleaner to use? Summit's got a few K@N drop air cleaners just don't know which one to get? Thanks for any help

I think Holley used to make one specifically for that manifold called the Street Numerator, specifically designed to function over the denominator to solve your problem.

I couldn't find the one you were talking about but would this one work?

Try the obvious: changing the filter height from the 3 inch to the 2 inch should give you clearance. If you already have the 2 inch then you have to try the drop style.

Try the KN type top filter also with the 2 (or 3) inch.

It sure lets a ton of air move. My Hemi loves it. It told me so.

A K&N 14x3 with a 1.25in drop base will clear the hood fine. I like the flo-thru top with the dropped base because it lets air in from the sides and top simultaneously. That is a benefit with a 4150/4160 style carb that still has the choke horn in place.

The dropped base is the trick for hood clearance.

Thanks for your help guys ordered my one up and should be here in a couple of days. I've been driving around for two weeks with no hood and I cant wait to put it back on.
