It's the stock air cleaner, I should have mentioned that I have long since replaced the Holley carb with the correct Carter AFB.

Re: C-1 Hood clearance
I have a customer's 59 in the shop right now that has a stock iron manifold from some unknown SBC and a Holley carb. From the manifold mating surface to the top of the ac stud, there is about 6-1/4". There is about 1/4-3/8" clearance from the stud to the hood. I know this measurement is pretty accurate because we have been repairing damage to the hood done by someone with a previous hood scoop or blower sticking out of the hood and I got to check the clearance with the middle of the hood cut out.- Top
