Air Gap and Vapor Lock

do this>>>"I used a drop base air cleaner to take care of the hood clearance issues."

I probably have more clearance since I have a 74 duster with the (hated by some) beak so my hood is higher I think and I have a hole cut in it for the 6 pack scoop as well so I guess that's the reason I don't have hood issues, sorry if I misled anyone..

Yep already a drop base. I think I will also soon have a hole in my hood where Im installing a scoop. So I might not have that issue either. LOL
