HEI 4 bbl intake suggestions

I want to put in a 4 bbl intake to set up one of the new Holley Sniper EFI kits later this winter, pending reviews once they are released, but my problem is I installed an HEI dist. Before people get wrapped around the axle, I had ignition problems and no combo of new duraspark parts would give consistent ignition, probably wiring so the one wire dist solved it completely. I know they have clearance issues with some manifolds so I want to know what works so I know what to look for. Not looking to modify the intake if at all possible but hoping to find one I can look for. Truck is not a race truck so not trying to spend a fortune on an intake. Thanks, DJ

I have a 460 with an Edelbrock manifold and Holley carb. Issues for me were gooseneck mod and no use of stock air cleaner. Otherwise, engine runs great.
