Before I go through the trouble of prettying up and installing the "A" manifold that came with the '56 292 in my '57 Sunliner, I wanted to ask you guys if you know whether a teapot with a '56-style oil bath air cleaner would even fit under the hood of a '57 Ford.  I am of the understanding that the 3 new 4-barrel carburetors offered in '57 were designed to be low-profile in order to accommodate the new car's lower hood---and low profile, the Teapot ain't.  If it doesn't fit, am I going to have to use a different manifold?
