Good Day All,
I have a dual snorkel on my 68 Charger RT. The drivers side snorkel is rubbing slightly on the hood underneath. Original 440 engine, original Carter carb.
Air cleaner looks level from the eye. Is there an easy way to adjust the angle of the snorkel to bring the drivers side down slightly?
Thanks

Or is something else causing it?
Possible broken engine mount. Torque of the engine causes the drivers side to raise up so that may be why your air cleaner is now hitting.

This
So not a broken engine mount.
The air filter in there is a FRAM CA127. The described height of this filter is 3.516 inches.
The top of air cleaner of my dual snorkel with the filter in there does not bottom out in the base plate. Close. But not quite. If I take the filter out and just install the top of the air cleaner dual snorkel...zero issues even under engine load. It does not strike at all.
A filter that was 3.25 inches in height would work perfect. Any suggestions here?
Or would you suggest a very minor height drop base. It is the original carter carb...that works/runs great!

Smaller filter would be cheapest/easiest.
Been scouring trying to find a filter same diameter but only 3.25 inches high. Cant seem to find one. It drops down to 2.75 inches...I do not want to go that small.

Quick Google of 12x3 filters returned a bunch of results, and here is a Fram one - http://www.fram.com/parts-search/CA324A
