Default Summit drop base on a Q-jet

Does anyone know if the Summit 1" Drop base air cleaners will clear a Q-jet, Summit can't tell me for sure.

TIA

Summit can not tell me if SUM-G3000 will fit a Q-jet for sure, they just said send it back on my dime if it doesn't.

I have a Moroso drop base aircleaner and the only mod I had to do was dimple the base slightly for clearance with the accelerator pump arm.

I haven't found a drop base air cleaner yet that will clear all the linkage on either a Q Jet or my Edelbrock. I'm going to take an old base and modify it to fit as soon as I get some time.

I bought an aluminum, off set 14" air cleaner dropped base off of e-bay. It fits my q-jet perfectly and clears the distributor by about an inch. It clears my hood liner by 1 1/4" with a 14" X 3" air filter.
