I have a 1969 Z10 camaro with cowl induction. I have the original setup with Quadra jet and a re-production air cleaner. I am having trouble with the carb linkage hitting on the bottom of the air cleaner housing. Any Suggestions? Was there a factory spacer on the carburetor besides the small gasket?
Here are some photos
The small block uses a ring between the air cleaner and the carburetor. 2" comes to mind but I don't think it's that tall.....Joe
^^ Not sure What Spacer Joe is refereeing to: Joe are you thinking of ZL2 Piece #3 3955232 RPO L48 which is Above the air cleaner to space the Ring & Seal up higher to mate with the hood>? Ref ZL2 Sheet A3.
My L48/TH350 Combo w/ GM Air cleaner # 6485234 is clear.
Notice there were Three Air cleaner Part Numbers for various combo's
I sure Bet repop is a single representation and might not have got all the specific characteristics correct & this is just a symptom of some dimensional variation for this combo.
I wonder "IF" you can just radius the carb throttle are for a bit of relief of the interference.
Oh I see it NOW.
Move your threaded Throttle arm pin to the lower hole & the Clevis/Swivel should clear the air cleaner.

I wrote that wrong. The extension goes between the top of the air cleaner and the ring which won't help him a bit. Sorry.....Joe
Jim,
That fixed it, I appreciate your help! I love the Camaro Forum! One simple detail ;D haha
Glad we worked thru it.
Keep at it.
Post often your progress.
