Is this a stock setup and what is your goal, just a chrome air cleaner on a stock intake?? You can check the stock clearance by sticking a wad of Play-Doh on the air cleaner and closing the hood.
Can anyone tell me with certainty how much hood clearance I have on my 1980 and what is the best carb filter to use?
Take a piece of clay and roll it into a big turd. Place it on the air cleaner and close the hood. Open the hood if you hit the top of the hood the clay should look different. If so, measure it and you have your exact amount of hood clearance.
