something on your motor is not stock, be it the air cleaner, carb, intake, or a spacer, but that is not a completely stock setup, I would guess prolly the aircleaner or a spacer

Do you have a Eldelbrok Performer RPM manifold? Sounds like it. If it’s stock there is no problem they sold the car that way. Eldelbrok sells a diamond shaped air cleaner only about 2in from the carb I had it before. You can always cut some of the metal from under the hood since you are not using the standard air cleaner.

I bet it's the performer rpm series I had the same problem. I changed the hood. It might be the torker series. Get the number and run it on Jegs
