I have about 1" clearance between the fire wall & cleaner lid.
the cleaner lid actually measures 13.25". The firewall tapers away
as it goes down so it provided plenty of clearance for the
"Jiffy popper" since it is circular providing maximum clearance
at the center if the air filter. The front has no clearance
problems at all. The base of the filter is about 1/4" above the
bracket bolt. The lid doesn't contact the hood pad I have. I
had modified the base of the air cleaner because it was hitting
originally. See my post from 5/23 in the archives.

Scott, The ducting I wrapped around my MP air cleaner has made
what feels like a big difference. When I switched to the MP
air cleaner I had also done my throttle body mods at the same
time. So I go to the track expecting a lot quicker time but
I only run about 1 tenth quicker than before the throttle body
and air cleaner mods. I think maybe sucking all that hot air
may have hurt the time. I didn't want to switch back to the
stock air box just because I love the sound of the MP air cleaner
and it flows a lot better than the stock box. The solution was
the ducting around the MP air cleaner running to the flap to
the left of the radiator. Like I said it feels great but I
still need to get to the track to check it out.
