1968 Dodge Dart GT Sleeping Beauty?

You might be ok.

I took these photos from my 67 dart and 273.

Al measurements are thru the centerline of the 2bbl left to right

About 1/2" to the top of the post and fender top inboard of the outer peak.

I put a blob of playdough on the air cleaner and closed the hood. about 2 1/4 from the hood insulation to the inner ring of the air cleaner.

So based on all this I measure 1-3/8" from the fender edge to the insulation
