Eddy Performer RPM

[Aussi440]

I am looking to run the Edelbrock Performer RPM on my 68 Charger with the stock black unsilenced air cleaner.  Has anyone done this?  Any hood clearance issues?

You will have to customize a drop base to use the stock air cleaner, otherwise it wont fit.

Agree, that's what I did - I used a Ford MS base and a factory top and don't have any hood clearance issues. I don't think the under-hood insulation would work without rubbing though.

what engine?

I think B block won't need drop base like RBs does

Nacho,  I think you may be correct, but don't completely remember.  I have a 70 B, I ultimately modified that aircleaner to have a slight drop because it still looked very high with the performer RPM.  So the Drop base can also have an asthetic elment to it.  (sort of hiding the fact that it is a higher assembly as a whole.

On my 68 Charger with a 383, I had to use a drop base air cleaner for hood clearance.
