Default Air induction 75' Coupe

Hey Folks!

I am now moving to underside of Rubys hood to start cleaning things and sorting things out and one of the first things I want to tackle is the air induction stuff.

I am currently running the stock L-48 350 that came in the car. The carburetor has been changed to an Edelbrock 1405 600CFM carb and is sitting on an Edelbrock intake (not sure what model).

I have heard that when changing air cleaners that you really have to pay attention to hood clearance. To that point, and being that I want to replace the instake manifold, what manifold and cleaner would you seasoned pros recommend to use with the 1405 carb?

I don't need to break the bank, just want to get fuel and air moving better and get rid of the NASTY little Edelbrock triangle thing that's on there now .

Thanks in advance!!

I had installed Edelbrock Performer #2101 with a Holley 650 carb on my 1975 L48 and had no hood concerns.
