My msd distributor on my 302 sits too close to my 650 double pumper and I cant fit a 14" air cleaner on it. I am thinking of buying a holley high tech air cleaner for better clearance. has anyone else ran into this? thanks, steven leighty

Summit sells a little 1/2" or 3/4" spacer that fits between the carb and the breather plate. They works nice if you have the hood clearance. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=SUM%2D239000 http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=SUM%2D239001

The spacer below the air cleaner is great, IF you have the head room for it. If you don't, you may want to look into the 13" diameter Ford Motorsport air cleaner.
