My Screwup Forced Me to Turn a 14" Air Cleaner Base into 13"

Harrison, My base, like yours, was too tall and made the 340 four barrel Pie Plate run into the new hood pad I used. So, I cut a .500" tall section out of it right above the carb entrance. My welder is good and made it look and fit correctly. Turns bads plates into more expensive base plates when things have bene altered from stock!
