Intake too tall, air cleaner hits hood

I may have spoken too soon about clearance problem. I set an aftermarket 14" air cleaner ***'y on the carb and the hood lightly touches it. I assumed that this larger diameter air cleaner would make the problem worse, but now I'm thinking that it may sit lower than the aftermarket one I had. (The factory one is not in my possession yet)) so I guess I'll know soon enough. Thanks for the help guys
