Thanks for posting that article, it was exactly what I wanted to know about.
I have a spare '57 Carter AFB; is there any downside to using an adapter such as this?

There should still be plenty of hood clearance as the AFB is not a tall carburetor. That way, I wouldn't have to modify the Teapot and could perhaps sell it. It's an ECZ-L unit, not sure that it's worth anything special.

Don't forget the F codes ran a bigger teapot on a modified (Raised) B intake. Used a bonnet instead of the normal aircleaner

Ted Eaton did an article on that, maybe he'll chime in on the modification. Here’ the link to the Holley Teapot modification article that was published in the Y-Block Magazine.http://www.eatonbalancing.com/blog/2013/03/02/modifying-the-holley-teapot-four-barrel-carb-for-late-model-distributors/

As Gary just mentioned, Ted did an article in Y-Blk Mag recently on that very issue.. which is why everyone on here should subscribe to it!

The teapot actually doesn't need any modification for a dual advance distributor. It does need to have one of the vacuum ports plugged to use a 57+ distributor.

Speedpro, I looked it up and you're right, the '57 E-code used Teapots. For some reason I thought it used AFBs. At any rate, I think I have my answer: get a different air cleaner! Fine by me, as I didn't really want to use the oil bath unit.
I already have a '57-style distributor. Doesn't the Teapot require some sort of modification to work properly with the dual-advance distributor?

Forgot to mention I have not tried a teapot on a 57 ford but the air cleaners will work.
