Default 14x3 Edlebrock

So I am about to buy the Edlebrock 14x3 at O'Rielly's but the guy asked me what size was the thottle body? (Essentially, what was the size of the opening for where the 14x3 attaches). I had to say..."I dunno." He told me to check and get back to him. So I am away from my truck and was wondering if you guys could tell me. I would like to pick up the 14x3 and a rubber spacer on the way home to do the install tonight.

Any other suggestions? Or things I need to pick up while I am there to make the install go more smoothly?

So I pick up the 14x3 off the shelf and have them look up the 5" spacer kit in their system?

Yes Mud, that is what you need. The spacer sits on top of the TB. It keeps the lower dish of the 14x3 from hitting the throttle/cc linkage.
