if the car has a carb, it needs an air cleaner, other than that you're fine

and i dont think the hood latches can be stuck up, more pertainin to older gm cars with spring hinges

I'm not sure of the rule, but I know that they let me run my car with no hood back years ago when the 347 first went in. My hood wouldn't clear the Vic. 5.0 manifold at the time. [Big Grin]

I know that when I ran my carbed 86 capri in 2001 they would only let me run if i had an air cleaner on it.
