Just raises the air breather base up two clear the linkages and things. You could get a tall one but I dont see it doing much other than being able to see your carb a little more. I use a 1/2in one for my 14x6 k&n both on the edl-1406 and stock quadrajet.

You might get lucky and find one at autozone or something like it. I think thats where I got mine, I wasnt really looking for one and thats when I seen it so I bought it.

i bought a universal one at pep boys i think-it came with a couple different size spacers for the air cleaner and pieces to use a 4 bbl air cleaner on a 2 bbl carb.i bought mine b/c edelbrock air cleaner didnt clear the linkages on my carb.it works great and gave me plenty of room to clear the linkages and fuel lines-carter afb is what im running.

I didnt have any problem with the 1406, but the quadrajet I needed to shave a little bit of the plastic off for the choke to full open and free.

Holly 4160 rubs bad on the choke linkage keeps it from engaging.
