All,
What is the distance between the center of the carb stud and the rear edge of the engine screen that covers it?
Early pre-L car
Full screen engine cover
Cleveland with single four barrel, not spread bore, carb
Thanks,

are you aware that the carbs are mounted further rearward on the factory spread bore manifolds?
No. I was not. Thanks.
I've edited my question guidelines.

I've got email forum responses of 6", 6" and 6 3/8".
Close enough collaboration for my needs.

Larry, my 6" dimension (to edge of stud to edge of screen) is for a Holley 650 on an Edelbrock Performer manifold.

Exactly what I have been running.
New engine build will have a Blue Thunder intake and I'm now (BT in hand) trying to confirm my paper calculations of it being able to fit under the stock early mesh screen. But 2511 is not at hand.
The Performer is 4 3/8" at the rear (carb pad height from engine block end seal) and 3 3/8" at the front.
BT is 4 3/8 at both ends.
As the engine screen has a large flat area before the curve at the window area, and I now know where the carb sits under that screen, it DOES appear the BT will fit under the screen.
Time will tell.

Would hate to have to abandon this assembly......
