Ok, so I've got all the parts and will be installing a factory ram air system on my 69 GTO.

I'm running an SD-455 Qjet on this car, and the carb bowl vent is creating a clearance problem with the lower ram air pan. The way I see it, I've got two likely solutions:
1) Use a 3/4" air cleaner spacer to raise the lower pan enough to clear the vent.
2) "Modify" the lower pan to create clearance for the bowl vent.

Of the two options, I like "1)" the best but what I don't know is how this would affect clearance between the lower pan and the hood pan. Would raising the lower pan 3/4" compress the foam pan seal "too much" or otherwise create a clearance problem between the lower and upper pan?

I'm looking for someone who has a factory ram air already in place on their 69 who might be able to give me a little guidance here.

Thanks,

Bear
