hood clearance
I discovered something good for once. The hood on my '75 Elco project will close over the air cleaner. No need for a "bump" etc in the hood.
And that's with a 1" phenolic spacer under the carb too !! weird....
The air cleaner is the stock unit for the '76 Caddy 500 (507) that I have in there. Seems like the original Chevy engine was higher, because the original 350 air cleaner left an imprint on the hood insulation pad.

Re: hood clearance
Cool! The less sticking up from the iop of the hood, the more of a sleeper you have. I have tried to keep mine in the sleeper catagory as much as possible, going so far as to buy $1,200 worth of sleeper mag wheels. I took my hood insulation off so my engine could breath just a LITTLE bit better. JB

My album is not up to date, since my camera is in for repair, but here's the link to my project.
