M1 Intake/Carburetor Hood Clearance on Early A body

I decided to put the M1 and the old 750 Holley 3310 on the shelf for now and bought a 650 Mighty Demon and Eddy RPM manifold from Don at FBO. I also got the 4 hole spacer kit and Barry Grant 3" Air Cleaner kit. I think I will be much happier considering my engine build and tranny setup.
