i can't get my hood to close because the rubber seal is too high.it's an after market air cleaner set up.has anyone else had this problem?

Usually the problem is either an aftermarket alum intake that is too high OR a repro seal that the rubber is too firm....do a search, I think this has been covered brfore.

The vacuum line is probably being pinched. However, search the threads this issue has been covered recently I believe.

Here you go...look for others too.
