Air cleaner clearance?

superdart said
I have a 360, Edelbrock Air Gap intake, 625 Carter (Edelbrock), a 3" AMSOIL Two stage filter, and a 1/2" spacer for the filter base to clear my fuel lines/regulator.

and it ALL fits under the hood.

If you're running a Performer intake, you shouldn't have ANY clearance problems.

You must not be using the the black MP air cleaner assembly or you modified it by using the bottom plate from another air cleaner assembly. From your avatar it looks like we have the same car and I have a 360 with Airgap, Mighty Demon Carb, 1/2 spacer with 2 3/16 gaskets and running 1.5 in filter and that brings me to about a 1/4 inch from my hood. A 3" filter will fit easy but not if your using the MP air cleaner.
