clearance issue I have just about completed my carb setup on my 94 formula. However i have two little issues not that all the bigger issues are done.
1. when i put the black wiper cover back on, it doesnt give me anyroom for the air filter that sits on the top of the carb. I have a 1" filter which is the smallest that i can find anywhere it there a smaller or different option
and 2. once i get a fix for option one, that hood doesnt close with the air filter on. Im trying to aviod buying a larger hood being i have a predator hood already. If buying a new hood is the answer ill do it but i rather not.
any help ?

Most guys here still run FI. Therefore no one really has an answer for you. It sounds like you'll either have to cut the cowl around the windshield or get a bigger hood. Or you can go redneck and just cut the hood you have now around an air filter and go.

drop base ?
i dunno what exactly your talking about
i guess im wondering if anyone has gone carb using a ws6 style hood, if they did how did they do it.
the drop base he's talking about refers to the bottom of the aircleaner setup. The last one I dealt with IIRC was like a 1.5" drop. The outer area of the cleaner is lower than the center where the carb sits. It allows use of a 3" element in the same area as a 1.5" element with a straight bottom. It's really hard to describe..
straight
as opposed to dropped

I have checked on acouple carb hats already. Ebay prices are about 80-90 bucks and i have found others that are $180 - $250ish does it matter on which one i truly buy depending on carb size or no ?
Also, are they all one size fits all carbs or not. This is something kinda new so i know they are amatuer question but i dont feel like throwing parts at it to find the its the wrong one with no return.
I have a 850cc holley double pumper carb if it matters.

No I think they either fit a 4150 or a 4500 series carb. So if you're running a 4150 style then buy that hat....
I think i paid like 100 for mine thru pro charger.. its pretty low profile which is why i wanted it... some of em are bulbous...
