Tym,
That's what I used. With the proper spacers under the engine it cleared the
hood with stock air cleaner by something like 1/4" BUT, my Edelbrock carb
was perking the gas when shut down and it was hard to restart. I ordered
a carb heat spacer from Edelbrock (.33" thick) and then the hood hit the
stock air cleaner.
I can't get rid of the carb spacer so I am running with the hood propped
open. I have an old Alpine hood that I plan to build some kind of a scoop
into to clear the stock air cleaner.
So, in short if you use the air gap you are gambling. If you have the
perking problem and have to get a spacer you might hit and either find a
scoop that works or remove the spacers under the engine which might cause the
fan to hit the steering rack.
If I was to do it over I would not use the air gap for the above reasons.
Unless someone is racing they will never be able to tell the difference from
that and another intake. I guess it looks neat:-)
