shaker bubble clearance

[moparx5]

 bubble rocking on air cleaner
cold air door seems do be hitting air cleaner lid
element is 2'' tall

Do you have the rubber seal for the adaptor ring?

[moparx5]

 yes i do
didn't appear that would make up the difference 

[76orangewagon]

Your correct...the seal has nothing to do with your issue. Loosen the (7) nuts that hold the seal ring to the base plate and adjust it forward to get clearance...

[Chryco]

Check the 3 studs on the doors for clearance

[moparx5]

 pulled base all the way forward still hits
put tin foil on top of air cleaner, crushed fat  where lid starts to rise up

measured from front bubble mounting hole to where cold air door opens 10 1/2''
measured from hole on base plate same distance
above pics of clearance height tells me there is no clearance
 

[Chryco]

Oh boy. Thoses mounting studs on that shaker are way to high! I'll send u a pic

Dumb question, nut just to be safe. Do you have the proper air filter and not one thats too tall ?

[Chryco]

Loosen all 7 nuts to the adaptor Ring and move it forward towards the car, it maybe just enough to clear it. Just a thought

[moparx5]

air cleaner is correct , dont think i would want anything shorter anyway , that beast needs to breath a little
threw a side note from chryo we determined there may be some bubbles out there with problems , i have a plan and simple fix ,,,,, to be continued 

[anlauto]

I've done a lot of Shaker cars and never had that issue 

[moparx5]

that is with everything removed looking in threw grill hole passenger side, all the room in the world drivers side, bubble is centered in hood  pulled all the way forward , bubble now sits flat on adapter plate because i took everything out of it ,but as u can see inner structure of bubble just touches air cleaner, so when grill is installed it hits air cleaner and when cold air door is in in hits worse because the lid begins to taper up , who knows ? bad bubble ?  my bad luck? covid??? lol
gonna shim up adapter plate with some 3/8 or 1/4'' stock whatever it takes to get it off the air cleaner, when i find a good height i will have a spacer ring water jet cut out of aluminum  and be done with it, the original hood for the car is leaning against the wall next to car , i bet the air cleaner never hit under that lol , guess this is the price to look cool
