Default L88 Air Cleaner Base Dimensions

Per the title, does anyone have some measurements on one of these?

I'm specifically looking for the 'drop' distance from the carb flange to the air filter flange and the outside diameter.

Thanks in advance.

A 14 inch air filter fits not sure of the drop.

With 3" filter







Notice the deep drop around the carb...


Its a 2" drop. With a 3" filter its a killer.... It killed 13rwhp on mine with the lid on. I now have switched to a 4" filter and a taller hood.... Much better...

Thanks all for the help! Just to clarify, the measurement shown below reflects the drop correctly between the where it sits on the carb and the air filter and it uses a 14" element, correct?

Yes 2" drop below carb flange.
There needs to be at least about 3/4" clearance over the Holley vent tubes.
