     Found a filter which is 2" instead of the 3" coming standard with the
     MP aircleaner. Would that be a problem, engine getting enough air
     since I don't plan to do any racing and therefor don't need maximum output
     or doesn't that hang together?  :clueless:

    14 " drop base K&N with a filter top should fit fine

    Speaking of hood clearance, I'm having an issue. I recently replaced my 318 with a 340 topped off with an Air-Gap instake and Holley 670 Street Avenger with electric choke and now have almost no hood clearance.
    My '72 Barracuda has a flat hood. Any recommendations on a drop base air cleaner assembly that will clear the choke?

    I have a K&N air-filter if you don't mind aftermarket. It's a 1 1/4" drop-base. Item #KNN-66-3040. You have a choice of a chrome, black, red, or blue lid. This is from Summit racing.

    I have a chrome lid to match my valve covers and alternator. Sorry for the crappy pic.   :P

    That's the assembly I was looking at in the Summit catalog. Must be the one then. Thanks!

    That's a nice picture. How do you post a picture.  I tried but it said the picture was too big.
