fit question
So….
I have this air gap Edelbrock intake with this 750 cfm carb, topped off with this matching billet air cleaner.
Does anyone know if this will fit under an L88 hood?
Or have suggestions on how to tell?
I’m looking to buy one but I would like to be sure it would fit before I drop the cash.
Thanks

had the air gap and same looking air cleaner on my 540 in my 69 and I am using a L88 hood (long style)and it would not fit
The front end of the air cleaner hits the hood
I went with the L88 and the air chamber (in the hood) with a factory drop base air cleaner to make it all work out
Maybe a taller version of the L88 hood would work?

That's what I was afraid of.
I think I saw someone get an L88 skin that had a taller scoop and graph it to the stock hood.
or I may cut a hole in my stock hood and put a stinger scoop on it.
either way, to keep this setup, it looks like i'm going to have to do something custom.

Again, just make sure the scoop you buy will have the clearance you need.
