Hood clearence on a 3rd gen--LG4/Q-Jet....
My buddy has a 350 in his '88 Camaro. He's got the stock LG4 intake and the Edelbrock version of the Quadrajet. With an air cleaner, chances of it fitting look slim. Will he have any problems?
NOTE: Stock flat hood

Should fit just fine. You'll need to use a drop-base 14x3 air cleaner.
Typical drop-base air cleaners are designed for Holley carbs and the base portion will often hit on the accelerator pump arm on top of a QJet. Not by a lot, but many times it will hit. Easiest solution is a super-thick air cleaner gasket that will space it up about 1/4" and give you the clearance you need. Holley makes these super-thick gaskets.
