Question about hood closure with different carb and manifold

[fleming23]

What I did was take both a drop base air cleaner as well as the ring that would normally sit on top of the factory cowl induction snorkel base. I trimmed the drop base and then tacked the top ring, flipped upside down, together which gave me essentially a truly sealed cowl induction (no hot air from the snorkel).

It is one of those things that looks almost factory but makes a lot of Chevelle people do a double take. I could not close my hood and use the cowl cleaner so this was my next best option.
