Two minor issues:
- Installed longer studs in intake manifold because of the thick base gasket that came with the carburetor. Without the thick gasket, the carburetor primary accelerator pump assembly hits the intake. I also like the insulating properties of the gasket.
- Since carburetor now sat up higher (not much higher but higher nonetheless), I used a dropped air cleaner base so that everything sits below the engine grill as desired. That took a little work to make happen--I bought an air cleaner from Summit to get the dropped base (1 inch drop), but the way the base is constructed hit the carb secondary fuel line inlet. A 1/2" air cleaner spacer raised the base enough to clear the carb, and, combined with my old air filter and cover, the whole operation sits below the engine grill. I actually ended up gaining a little clearance after all that.
Hope this helps with your decision-making process which ever way you decide to go.
