: I have a 1972 Maverick with a 250 I 6. I just bought one of those adapeters to put a 2bbl carb on the intake for the stock 1bbl. I have a 2bbl carb that came off of a 73 302 mav. I was wondering if I put hat adapter and carb on my 250 mav, I was wondering if the hood will still close fine with a air filter and everything or if I will have to cut a hole in the hood?
: has anyone done this beore?
: any help will be aprecitaed
: thanks

To check Your hood to air cleaner clearance try this little trick.
Buy a can of "PLAY DOUGH" roll it into a ball and place it on top of
Your air cleaner,shut the hood to compress the play dough,now just measure the thickness of the flaten ball of play dough.
