no I am running dual quads and I have very little room between the distributor shaft and the rear of the second carb. Looking for some options

I've used one awhile back. It came from a bread truck. They are a bit pricey so a buddy gave me one from the bread truck to try before I spent the cash on a good one. It worked really well it ended up staying on the truck. Although it was rather big in size.

just use a plastic L to run from the carb and make that hard bend for extra room
