Nah shouldent do? lots hav done it. and I think the weber with the addaptor is about the same hight as the original carb. and most aftermarket fillters for webers are shorter.

Do you have the right bonnet?

It sounds like the engine is mounted too high. A15 with stock air cleaner, or A15 with weber 32/36 fits under the stock bonnet.

The most likely answer is that when they swapped in the A15, they fitted it too high.

You can check: the bottom of the oil pan should be level with the bottom of the crossmember. If the oil pan is higher, that's your problem.
