|
|
Does anyone know if the Kadron setup with the stock filters will clear the decklid arms and brackets? I have not installed them yet. Thanks! _________________ Matthew Pate

Need shorter air cleaners to clear the decklid springs. _________________ Zach S.

Will the cone filters clear the springs? Any idea who makes these low profile filters? _________________ Matthew Pate

The cone filters just cleared the springs on a '72 'vert
we restored. We had about 5mm to spare, no more than that.
You should also note the intakes can be supplied in various lengths.
If you have the long or tall version, clearance will be more of a challenge. _________________ ****************************

This is my engine, KG 74 with dual kadrons. I ordered the hole set to AJ Sims.
Plenty of room, works real nice. _________________ Ivan

I solved the clearance issue by using turbo air filters.

Another option is to remove the springs and either use a prop or a strut to hold the engine lid open for you. _________________ (0)(=|=)(0) 68 Ghia Vert - Gina
