Hey guys,

 

I'm hoping to get a little advice. I'm switching out the Weber/Carter 1bbl carb and putting in a weber. I bought an intake manifold that had a custom Weber adapter welded/bonded to it. Well when I went to see what it would look like when I put on the Weber I noticed that it wasn't going to clear the spark plug wires and the contacts on the distributor.

 

I measured from the intake, the size of the spacer thing w/gasket and it was about 5/8". It looks like I'll need another 1/2" or so to clear so about 1 1/8" total. Does that seem right?

 

Tried to drill out the studs when I couldn't remove them but there was some sort of bonding agent so I ended up just removing the custom plate entirely.

 

I ended up getting the Redline adapter. Which from besides the gaskets not really lining up works well.
