hood clearance

[charger_fan_4ever]

Hello guys quick question.

I have a 70 440 with an edelbrock dual plane intake on it. Cant recall which one. I want to run a holley/pro form 750 mechanical carb just for tuning and ease of mind as i have ran one on another car for years.The holleys are just so reliable and easy to tune.

I also want to run the stock 70 dual snorkel air cleaner. My question is will the stock air cleaner/750 carb/aluminum intake fit under a stock 70 hood ?

I picked up a 70 intake just in case.

It really depends what type of aluminum intake you have.

i have a 69 and the dipple in my hood says no,

I used the bottom of a lowering air cleaner, on top of a 1/2 adapter to finally get clearance for hood and carb 

just be careful,  I later used double sided tape on high point to see if I got clearance,  start slow.

Which intake and carb were you running ?
