Tony....No spacer is used. Neither of those manifolds seems to require one as they are high rise manifolds and have excellent operating ranges to begin with. If you do need the spacer you can remove the ring I shaved completely and with a unibit drill a hole front and rear where the float adjustments are on the Demon to allow them to come up through the baseplate of the air cleaner. It will then lay right on top of the carb giving you another 1 inch or so. I did this the first time and later replaced the ring to give me what I now have. A lot is dependant on what distributor you're running too. An MSD doesn't allow much room since it's taller than the stock distributor.
Thanks Don....Doing special effects for the film industry always seems to present us with little problems that need to be solved with the quickest most simple way possible....like making that Dodge Charger in the "Fast and Furious" do a 3 foot wheely for 100 yds at only 30 mph or in the newly released "Swat", stuffing a 351W into a Lear Jet and hydraulically chain driving the main landing gear so that we could drive it down Los Angeles downtown city streets at 55mph....( what a rush, by the way!)
