Not Ranked
My S&Hs are about 1 3/4" tall with a taper. I trimmed the perforated steel rings on each filter so that one side is about 1/4" lower than the opisite side creating a taper oposite from the spot welds. When mounted the spot welds are between the carbs and the front and rear top edges are lower. The front 1/3rd of the front aircleaner is under the hood in scoop area. The rear aircleaner just touches the back of the scoop. Before I trimed they actually left marks in the underside of the hood. I'm still looking for something to change like another hood scoop that would let me put a better aircleaner on the engine or a Spectre cold air system that would fit under this hood. I've been thinking about a cowl induction scoop like I have seen on a Kirkham. Not correct but probably really functional. I liked the looks. I'm not trying to pass this off as an original car. I remember the phrase " historically warranted modifications"
