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.
