I've got to play with air cleaners then. My 10" round just fits inside my shaker. Being a 68 motor, the adapters the previous owner used to install the motor put the motor offset to the passenger's side somewhat -- thus my air cleaner sits inside the scoop very close to the right-most edge. If I can get a spacer between the carb and intake, it'll have to be very very short, which probably won't help me that much.
But I'll definitely take these all into consideration.
Which electric fuel pump should I buy? I was looking at the Holley Blue pump. Also, would I be able to run it in tandem with my mechanical? I know some guys do this, and I'm curious the difference between going all electric versus installing an electric pusher/helper.
