Has anyone used an Indy 401-3 intake manifold ? I was wondering if this model would fit correctly with a 68 AMX stock hood. 
Thanks

 With the most severe means of lowering the filter's height I placed a glob of modeling clay on the bolt and gently shut the hood. There was only 1/4" clearance, so don't just sit the filter on the carb without running down the bolt and shutting the hood.
