Anyone have any experience with a Wieland Stealth? Would it fit under the stock hood?

FYI, Installed edle 7101 rpm intake with 1411 750 edle carb and edle filter assm. 14X3 filter. The standard style wing nut just touched the hood. Swaped to a 1/4" nut for the top of air filter assm and have aprox 3/8" clearance. This setup is on a 81 with stock hood

No but I went with the Weiand Team G to avoid some of the hood clearance problems. The pad height is about the same as the Eddy Performer 2101 IIRC.

<----------- Look!

I guess if you can get it to fit the RPM would be the best choice If you really want to buy something
I have put the edelbrock rpm and 750 carby on my 75 with standard air cleaner base just put slightly lower filter in it ,was only inch smaller works great with clearance under hood good

There is a real good write up on Car Craft comparing top dual plane intakes - worth a look.
