Yeah, I used the Edelbrock spacer. I have the 3" paper filter that came
with the Edelbrock on there now but I'm going to put a 2-3/4" paper
filter on there and cut down the carriage bolt until I get my new hood
from Pro Glass. Then I'll put the biggest K&N one I can fit under the
bulge. I didn't want to have to pay for 2 K&Ns is why I'm waiting...
Actually, I may just leave th 3" I have on there for now... It's not
really hurting anything...
