Default Ram air lower pan and Holley carb

Does any known if you can use a metal reproduction ra3 lower ram air pan with a Holley carb with vacuum secondaries without modifying the pan?

If not what mods are needed?

Thanks

Believe some have dimples for the Holley float adjuster screws and some do not.

Yes two versions exist for the Ram Air -4- pans for fitting a holley. But doublecheck for a Ram Air 3 pan as I do not know if the dimples were ever offered on them. Maybe Tom S can post pics of his set up that clears.....

The metal reproduction ra3 lower ram air pan will clear a Holley carb with vacuum secondaries without modifications.

Thanks for the insight.
