STILL had to grind like mad on the bottom of the base, actually had to remove the resin enclosed nuts, (for hold down brackets, i won't be doing it that way. holding it down with the lid alone.....), to clear the carbs. i am as low as i can possiblby go, and she sits TALL in there. fellow AAR guys, how high does your air filter sit? i think i am just barely grazing the hood with the air cleaner lid. yi have yet to measure with clay or the sort, but i feel it slightly as i close it. i am hoping when i get some new all thread for studs, that when this is tightened down, it will suck it down another 1/8" inch or so........ thanks for any replies on stock air cleaner height.......
