rick-53 Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 hey guys im a newbe and thanks for any suggestions and or comments, well could someone please tell me if it is possible to set up my 70 monte 454 with dual carbs including air cleaner and still have clearance for the hood? i really dont want to modify or change out hood, thanks so much Quote
7tonemonte Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Welcome Rick! Im not sure about the big block, but a person I work with has a small block car with dual carbs on it and a stock hood, That may not be much help to you, but anyway Quote
black07ss Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 I can't be of any help with the carb question but welcome to the site......oh and do you have any pics?? Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Welcome to the site. I cant imagine that the manafold and carbs is much taller than the stock as long as you get a real thick air filter or put a tunnel ram on it. I guess I wasnt much help eather but good luck and we do love pictures and welcome. Quote
wallaby Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 The intake looks low enough to work, but the question is the height of the air cleaner assy. It's easy enough to get a drop-base filter housing for a single carb, but don't know if such a thing is avail for dual carb. Maybe the guys at Summit or Edelbrock can give you an assembled height measurement? Quote
Mike 57 Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Welcome Edelbrock lists heights of their intakes on the website. I know the RPM Airgap fits so maybe you can compare to it. Like Mark says, the air cleaner may be the issue. I ran a drop base with the Airgap. Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 I have a weiend manafold (just a tad taller than stock) with a quadrajet carb the air filter is 4 inches tall and it fits. Quote

rick-53 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Posted October 19, 2011 i am located just north of urbana, ohio, which is approx. between dayton and columbus. are you close by? hey Bob just how do you get pics on here, i read the fAQ but im quite sure i didnt understand a dang thang they said. Quote
Mike 57 Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 The old style eddy C66 intake would be the best bet for clearance if you want to stay with a flat hood. Quote

I'm up near the lake Rick. You need to set up a picture host like car domaine or photobucket. copy the url and paste it here. I am quite computer illiterate. It took me quite a few do overs before I got it right. Some one smart like Tony will chime in to help out Quote
