Thanks Bernd, I'm running the 2bbl M1 and I'm really not sure what a spacer
will do to performance. I have a 14" Edlebrock base and a 2 1/2" K&N with a
K&N X-Stream lid, but as it is the air filter is halfway in the scoop so it
sucks in cool outside air and hot under hood air. I think that having it in
the scoop fully would be better than not, even with a spacer.
