Too bad the '64 Tri-Power cars didn't have a hood pad to clear the air cleaners. On the '64 hood, there is a circular depression in the pad that fits the 4 bbl. air cleaner. Same hood pad for the Tri-Power cars.
On my '64, I put three old chrome tops on the air cleaners for driving and replace them with shiny ones at shows. A PITA, but not horrible. On my wife's '64, we just left the hood pad off, so we don't contend with the rubbing issue.
Is it true that '65 Tri-Power GTO's did have a different hood pad? I don't think so. Isn't the hood a little higher in the middle in '65?
