When I got my 63 vert it had a two leg adapter and the lid cleared.
Very thin air cleaner though.

Yes, long long ago, on my '62 convertible. I fixed it with a hammer
bending 
the hood metal out of the way. I found a real thin air cleaner (about 1
inch 
thick ) that worked pretty well after the hammering. I suspect that all
earlies 
with a four leg adapter will have this problem. Maybe a two leg adapter
too.
