The engine in that car is placed 1.5" rearward, so that might affect things. The car runs great. No tuning issues.
What drop base air cleaner do you use? This will be the aftermarket one PTFB sells... think it used to be the WFO?? The northwind looks to be similar height as the RPM? so should be able to get the PTFB drop base & northwind under a aftermarket formula hood.

I have the VFN fiberglass hood on my 72 and run a factory HO aluminum intake that is same height as other irons, with a 78 TA air cleaner there is very little room, about 1/2".
