I'm pretty much over that now. I was going to replace the hood with a cowl hood
anyway, so I'm just going to do that next, and put off the amp until summer.

That is weird. When I measure my TBI, I got 5.25", which is the diameter of the
Edelbrock. My not fitting problem is that the can itself won't go all the way
down. I ordered a 3/4" adapter today, that should work, I just hope the new
height (now including adapter) and the K&N 3" element that's coming tommorrow,
fits under the hood. If it doesn't, I'm shooting something.
Thanks for all the help,
