Carb Spacer ?

What spacer works on an Edelbrock 3711 intake with a 72 cutlass flat stock hood? All stock engine. 4 hole or open spacer on the 3711?

Either a Holley 650 DP 4777 or possibly a Holley 750 Vac Sec 3310

That manifold is dsigned for either a spreadbore or squarebore carb. So no spacer is required, as I'm assuming no EGR either.



I'm going to try this on mine next.

May need a 1" spacer under the Holley to clear the EGR port on the 3711. I have an aftermarket air cleaner so not sure about stock. The 3711 is not high rise like the RPM and I think the dimensions are pretty close to stock.

I'm using a 3310 Holley on a Performer manifold on BBC, no spacer with just the gasket above. I'm also using an old Corvette 14"x3" drop base open aircleaner. I tried using an Edelbrock carb but could not find and aircleaner to fit under my flat hood. With you having a SBO there is not a clearance issue.
