Air Gap hood clearance

I can’t Remember if the cowl is open all the way across or if it’s two separate compartments.

If it’s two you could somehow mount the filter to the drivers side and just hook your blower inlet to the cowl on the other side.

Never mind. I just typed myself into a corner. That can’t work.
On my '68 Barracuda, it's one single compartment with water drainage openings under the fenders near the hood springs.

I found a half-dollar-sized rust spot that was all the way through the paint in that area. I had to wire brush, treat and repaint it. Man, that rust repair business is no joke. It took me over 15 minutes to get the car rust free again! :lol:
