Can't agree with Steve more. The AC I procured recently fits just fine
under the LAT hood on my car.....this with an F4B and a double-pumper no
less. Only thing I have to do is use a flat nut. I don't typically run the
AC though as the darn carb does not seem to get enough air through it. Hey,
maybe I just need to re-jet.
Sorry about the surgery on the AC. Seems to me they may owe you about
$450-600, IMHO.

Dan,
That looks like an Edlebrock F4B hi rise (like mine), and a
4160 vacuum secondary (600 CFM?) thermal choke (mines a
1848-1 - similar, but 465 CFM), and I just don't understand
what's happened.
The manifold and carb and air cleaner fit just fine under a
STOCK hood, much less my LAT hood I put on later. There is
NO interference between the carb, air cleaner, hood (flat
nut!).
Whatever is going on is very strange. Maybe your motor
mounts are incorrect, and pushing your entire engine up too
high? How is the Fan blades at the shroud?
Great looking car. Sure hate to see that rare, expensive
air cleaner butchered for nothing. Wish we had discussed
this before the "surgery".
Steve

off the list.)
