Stock Air Cleaner Clearance with Edelbrock Carb

That's a good idea- thanks. The carb heat insulator gasket I put on a while ago has already changed the angle of my metal breather tube from cleaner to valve cover to where it is difficult to keep on. Another inch from an air cleaner spacer and I'll probably need to find a fix for that too- ha, it seems everything I fix creates 2 more problems.
