Dave,

Responding to our Holley HP correspondence.

The Holley HP series does not have any choke tower. This model uses the main body/venturi design different than standard Holley's. So the air cleaner clearance issue you addressed is not a problem.

Again for the sake of conversation.

To accommodate needed hood clearance for the Victor JR Manifold we had to cut the carburetor pad down .500" and lowered the engine .500". Plus, since my car is a Contemporary we also moved the engine over toward the drivers side to help center the air cleaner in the scoop. Even with all this we still had to cut away the baseplate of the Helling & Stelling filter in order to use a K&N filter.
