Hello -I bought my first vet last year (1980 L48) with the expectation that I would learn more about cars and how to work on em. My first upgrade was going to be a new carb and intake. Now here is the problem -the Edlebrock airgap intakes indicated they wouldn't fit under a stock vette hood. So I called and ordered the Edlebrock Performer EPS and the Thunder Carb. Upon getting it, the doc's clearly state the intake won't fit under the hood (wish Jegs could have told me that prior to ordering a Saturday delivery - despite my asking...!).
So, has anyone actually got this intake to fit under a stock hood? If so how?
What are people using for intakes under stock hoods as it appears I will need to find an alternate intake.
I really didn't want to go down that path of a new hood but it does appear to be fairly restrictive in terms of what you can squeeze under it.
Thanks for helping.
