Andrew - When you are figuring out how much drop to use, check the clearance between the air cleaner top and the fuel bowl vents on your carb. I didn’t do this and had to add a spacer between the carb and air cleaner base to remove some of the drop.

There is more curvature in the hood from side to side than it looks like, so you have more vertical room than it appears.

Your car is looking good!
