Here is a shot showing the clearance under my hood, before I started making mods, as taken through the scoop. If you look closely you will see a wooden ruler sitting on my original S&H chrome filter top, and on top of that is a roll of black electrical tape. I put blue painters tape on the hood so you can see it better. The combination of the ruler and tape is exactly 7/8 of an inch and everything just barely touches the hood and the hood latches with them there. So that's how much clearance I had to start with on my "classic S&H configuration" -- 7/8's of an inch. And that's with a hood scoop.

Pat,
That picture helps. Certainly not a lot of room!
