Thanks, everyone, I just received four spacers and gaskets with extended carb studs from the link Ted gave me.  They were pricey, but I just trial fitted them on my ECG-D intake that Ted opened the bores up to 1 1/2" for me, and they fit nearly perfect.  I finished porting the intake, and flowed everything on my SF-600 flow bench, so now I can get the teapot carbs rebuilt, and install for test drive.  Joe-JDC

Joe, be careful with the 1/2 inch spacers.  You might dent the hood when you close it.  The passenger car used the 1/2 inch spacers but the Tbird used a stack of thick gaskets.

Hopefully I have a fix for that.  I am in the process of installing a factory fiberglass hood with a raised scoop area.  I intend to make the hood fit dual fours with spacers, tri-power with spacers, Mummert with spacers, and possibly a sheetmetal intake I am trying to design.  Thanks to Gary Burnette for selling me a hood, and bringing it to Indy, and thanks to Ted for bringing it to Texas.  I hope to have pictures available soon of some of the progress on this build.

That's really nicely done. Years ago when I ran an Offy tri power, I had to cut the back air cleaner down to clear the hood.

Could we get some more info on the hood? Difference in height, general shape, etc?

Slum, they worked on mine. 1/4".,I used a felt tip pen on the edges to make them black. Which WCFB's are you using...
