My car is mostly a driver now. It was built in a warmer climate to do a Hill climb. I have gotten caught out in the rain. The hood scoop looks traditional . The opening to under hood dumps behind the distributer on top of the first air cleaner. with the intake manifold used, I only have 1 1/2" high S&H air cleaners and they are tapered down in front and rear to 1 3/8" and that is against the under side of the hood . I need more room for a taller air cleaners air cleaners. I'm looking to have another hood built and mount a raised bump. tasteful but not the norm. I was all in for Morris's rear facing scoop, only to find it has a big draw back. I have had this car for 23 years and have been bothered by the lack of room for air cleaners on top of the engine. It's time to change things. Not using any air cleaners would cause damage to the engine.
