The 1/2" spacer showed up today, so I decided I needed to check and see if the hood was actually going to close. My answer is a huge no! It was pretty much 1/2" off from closing. Removing the spacer and I was able to close the hood. But... and it's a large but... It's extremely close to hitting. So much so that if the hood were to bounce at all, it would likely hit. I'm going to need to change out either the entire cleaner or possibly just the top to get more clearance. Looking into it.
The other thing this means is that I will not be able to use the vacuum port on the intake manifold. No matter how much I don't want to spend the money for a hydroboost brake booster, that means I'm going to have to. Sucks... But don't have much choice.
