Bob, When I get home this weekend I'll take some measurements on my 68 with HEI. I also have a 67 351E air cleaner to make the comparison. You are running the Holley 500 carb, right?[/QUOTE]

Yes, Holley 500. Found an aftermarket air cleaner base that fits with the stock 351/WWC air cleaner lid, so I run that for a stock appearance. Thanks, I might go with an HEI one of these days.
