i bought a holly 14x3 at advance and tried installing it and it wont sit properly the throttle body cables are in the way , did i get the wrong on ? if it were to be higher there no way the lid will fit either

 

I'm planning on getting a 14X3 too, I think you're supposed to install a throttle body spacer to clear everything. I'm not sure where to get it though, anybody have a link to a spacer that works?

 

i didnt have to use a spacer, it fit right on no problems...

 

You won't need a spacer if you use one that has 3/8" deeper flange.
One like an Edelbrock 1221.http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-1221
I am sure there are others out there but that is the one I have.

Search at summit for spacers: http://www.summitracing.com/search/?...20spacer&dds=1

 

you can~t get a drop base air cleaneer

 

I have a 14x3 and got a 1.5" space from the parts store it fit great cleared everything, put the spacer bottem plate and the airfilter in at the same time then the bolt then the top ,I had to move a wire over a hair but, fit right and took 5 mins to instal hope this helps

 

Go to Advance or Autozone, and in the section of the round air cleaners, there should be a Mr. Gasket assortment of plastic spacers. There is like 4 or 5 of them in one pack, and it's like 8 buccs.

 

i just went back and exchanged for the 3rd time today this was the last time gotr the 10x3 so i will see if i like and see what one to sell this one fits edelbrock

 

The Mr. Gasket 1480 fits without having to put a spacer under it.

 

yep the 14x3 is fine just get the pack of spacers, you would be happier with the 14x3 over the 10x3 so go back and switch again
