Air Gap Manifold question
Anyone have any idea how much taller than stock the deck height of an air gap manifold is? Did lots of measureing today to see how much space I have between hood and air cleaner. Bought a Edelbrock Pro Flow cleaner today, it gives me about 1.75" more room. I have about 2.375" to play with before hitting the hood, is this enough?

Edelbrock has the height measurements of all their manifolds posted on their website. Simply check out the specs on the AirGap manifold and compare against your stock manifold. The measurements are very simple, and come off the forward and rear surfaces of the block.

I'm currently running a SpeedDemon 750 on a Qjet Performer intake, so I'm using an adapter that is about 1" tall (you know the thickness if you've seen one before) I'm using a dropbase aircleaner to accomplish this. SO anyhow, if I swap to an Airgap/RPM manifold where I wouldn't need the adaptor, am I going to be good? or is some kind of super-lowrise required for that? Stock 77 hood.
