In Reply to: hood clearance posted by Jeff on July 10, 2000 at 02:19:37:
: 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

:i purchased the 2into 1 adapter from clifford,along with the weber 2 bbl.also bought the k&n air filter they recommended.the air cleaner came with two chrome acorn nuts to hold it on.these nuts are just tall enough to put a little dent in your hood if your not careful. i had to file down the mounting bolts a little and used two flat nuts.just enough clearance now. that playdough trick works,thats what i did. good luck
