Which intakes clear firebird stock hood?
Anybody have a definite carb height or intake p/n that will clear the stock trans am or Firebird hoods with a Holley 600vs and drop base air cleaner? Currently I have stock aluminum intake , carb adapter and 3/4" spacer with l69 air cleaner and it BARELY rubs the bottom of the hood supports. Looking to change over to vortec heads with an aftermarket intake and 14x3 drop base air cleaner.

I have an Edelbrock Performer. NOT the 360 model. I had an Edelbrock carb, a 1" square-to-spread bore spacer, and the stock air cleaner housing (also a 10" filter) It barely fit. I'm back to a Q-jet (non-emissions) and stock gasket with the stock air cleaner- it's fine- a whole 1/4" .

Is your intake like this one?

The one I just got is this one

Based on the published numbers I think it is about 5/8" taller. Hopefully it will still fit!!

My car is an 87, so I used this intake... Same as the 86-down intake, just the holes are angled differently.
