Anybody have this problem??...
I have a 351W in my EM Cobra. I installed a Weiand Stealth intake, and a Demon (Road Demon) carb.
I am using an oval "COBRA" air cleaner.
MY HOOD RECESS LIP (at the cowl area) IS HITTING ON TOP OF AIR CLEANER.
I eliminated the spacer between the carb and air cleaner bottom plate, ...Still not enough room.
I recessed the bolt heads on the bottom of the plate (one of which was hitting the float adjustment on the carb) that run up through for the top wing nuts ...STILL TO TALL....
Only thing left to do is CUT out holes for the float adjustments to actually protrude INTO the base plate, and possibly grind the lip on the bottom plate down also....Adding some gasket material between the plate and the carb.... This SHOULD do it.
Question is,... will this effect the carb breathing in any negetive manner??
This is NOT a high rise intake,.... I didn't think I'd even come close to having this problem since you can jam a big block down in there
........ It's getting frustrating...
