Fits standard 4bbl carb flange 5&1/8" . If FI tech uses a standard 4bbl air cleaner , then these should work.

I’ve read people having clearance issues with one of the FiTech fittings. I have a new-in-the-box FiTech and will check my new baseplate on it and report back
 
Ok I just pulled my FiTech out of the box and grabbed my new baseplate. It fits perfectly on the throat of the unit. When I rotate the baseplate around the throat, there is no hitting any of the FiTech fittings or other components. I can’t guarantee it not hitting the female fittings from a fuel or return line, but no doubt there are some 90 or 45 degree fitting that can be used or swapped with the FiTech fittings

I think the lid your using is the smaller diameter lid. They made em in a larger diameter that was used painted black on slant 6 and chrome on 273. I dont think your going to get enough airflow if yours is the smaller 6 only lid. I can measure mine across and get you a dimension. If you cannot find one, i may have a spare of the lid you need. Heres pix of mine on workbench. It may more of the carb because may be a larger diameter.

273 4 BBL lids measure 11 inch diameter... As does the "Super 225" lid...

Note: that black Super 225 lid in bottom photo... is now the lower lid in the top photo... Chrome Powder Coated...

Thanks, yeah I noticed that after I posted it. I might have a lead on a chrome commando one. If you do have an extra correct slant six lid, how much would you be looking for out of it?
 
Got my Commando style baseplate today... Looks Great... Fit on a Carter AVS 4640SA just fine... No clearance issues...
Now if only I can Locate an un-molested Edelbrock D4B intake...
