Manifold hieght

Can someone post measurements of their manifold carb or efi setup.Trying to figure out what my max height i can go to clear hood.

I assume Mk4? If so here are some instructions I gave to another member a week or so ago.

Come 16 inches forward from the firewall (this should be approximately the center of your carb/FiTech) and lay a straight edge across the square tube frame rails that run along the hood opening. Go halfway in between the rails and measure up 3 inches. This is the underside of the hood at it's high point---it becomes less as you move outward left or right &/or forward. You can work backwards from there and measure down to the top of the carb, throttle body or intake.

Yes it is a Mk4 going with a 351w efi multi-port with throttle body on top.
