Default Re: How high is the hood on a 1956 T-bird? (should I be concerned?)

The cheap and easy way to measure clearance is a ball of tinfoil. Wad it up loosely, stick it on the carb, no stud, and close the hood till it lays on the latches. Measure, and if it looks ok, latch the hood down and measure again.

But it looks like all factory parts so you should be ok. Only question would be if the front mount was somehow modified or changed. I don't know, but a front truck mount might be a different height than the proper bird mount?
