Is your carb sealed to the hood you now have?
Just a thought.
The SSAH cars I have looked at all have the carbs about 1 inch from the top of the scoop. You may not be losing as much as you think.

The S/S guys don't have a choice of hood scoop's.The reason they do not seal carbs to the scoop (I asked Joe Teuton @ The Southern Nationals this year)they needed some things like clutchless trans. and a few other things and in return they had to give up some things,and sealing the carbs. to the scoop was one of them.
I found out a few years ago,if makes a different on not just sealing your carbs. to the scoop but getting the scoop where it needs to be to get the cleanest air. Just remember to richen up your carb as well or you may not seen a gain.
PS I think the body style determines more of which scoop you need to use.

My scoop is sealed to the carb. I have seen the SS/AH cars and they are real close also. They are limited by what they have to run though. I bet they would all tell you it would be quicker if it wasnt so close. They have probably all found that added plenum is worth more than the close carb/scoop hurts them.

Probably end with with a HEMI and a screw blower, but for now I have this so I can see where I'm going on the street with the little engine.
That looks pretty nice Jim.  What style is that one?

Thats a bummer as I think your car looks great with the 6pk scoop. Ron
Thanks Ron, I'm not overly excited about it either, but in the name of progress it has to be done. Six pak isn't going to get it done when it has two 1250's sitting on a sheet metal tunnel ram with 640 cid under it. Would rather do it once.

It's the shortest aero that Glasstek sells, I believe.
