Correct. There was 7/8 of an inch from the top of my S&H air cleaner to the underside of the hood scoop. IOW, if the bonnet had no scoop, and because of that it was 1" lower, then it wouldn't fit. And that, of course, is ignoring torque over. The rough, general rule is to allow a half inch for torque over.
