RB Engine in A bodies - Air Cleaner Clearance Issues

Remember that the hood insulation was optional on these cars. It came as part of the undercoating package. Tens of thousands of chrysler products were built without it. Lose the insulation. Less mess, more clearance, and no, no paint issues.

When I put the 440 with torker and 1" carb spacer in my 72 dart I ran a 14" drop base aircleaner with no issues. From recollection it was a 2 1/2" or 3" tall element. And no insulation.

I will try and find a picture later today.
