hood clearance w/ a victor jr?

[Efi69Cam]

I have a Vic Jr with a Fast 1200CFM TB on my standard deck 540. Professional Products makes a spun aluminum dropped base that allowed me a 4.5" filter. This is even with their 1" spacer to clear the throttle linkage and fuel rails.
There is enough room under the cowl hood for 1/2" of clearance over the K&N filter lid.

It can be done.
