alright right now in my 67 I have a performer intake with a holley on my 289. It clears the stock hood by a little over an inch. If I add a drop base air cleaner will an rpm air gap fit? I have a chance to get one real cheap.

I am running an air gap on the cougar and a reg chrome aircleaner and it clears the hood.
Just do not put the spacer on it and should be fine.
