Nice car Lew, yes I saw that aircleaner in Summitt, I think it was an Edelbrock actually. Does it have a drop down base, I did NOT think it did, but you say it does?
I have heard of spurttering issues with the open top air cleaners with our cobras and the scoops we have on our cars affecting the airflow.

It does not come with a dropped base. The entire base sits above the carb. However, the flat base on it can be modified so that it drops. I think mine is dropped about 3/4". I have no sputtering issues.
