I have a 69 with the 255/290HP engine running in SS/IA. There is definately something with the carb/hood clearance. I ran a full year and bought 4 different carbs before I realized my problem was with the carb being too close to the hood. I raised the rear of the hood up to gain some clearance to check my theory and it solved my problem. Since that is not legal I went to a 1/2 inch spacer on the Victor E intake. That gave me adequate clearance.
