Rick-
Can you explain why this is so? If you deck the block, haven't you in effect lowered the height of the manifold, and then necessarily, shortened the distance between the pump and the manifold? I noticed you said that it is the case wth the SB, what about with FE or 385 series? Curious . . . .
