Default rpm airgap

Will an rpm airgap intake fit under a '76 vette's hood? I will be using a drop base air cleaner. Also if anyone is currently using this intake could you please
give your impressions.
thanx wade

The 73-79 med. rise hood allows the RPM & others w/ aftermarket dropbase & Holley.
You need to give your setup incl. carb & what you want if you want to know if you should use it.

I have decided to use the Edelbrock "torker II" on my 72 small block. I have A mild 350 4-speed. Also I will run A drop base. :cool:

A 1 inch drop base fits under the hood of my '74 with a 2 inch filter.

This seems awfully familiar.
