Carburetor linkage hitting bottom of air cleaner housing

[hdptsr]

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?

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

Glad we worked thru it.

Keep at it.

Post often your progress.

You might have to readjust the height of the accelerator pedal to make sure you have wide-open throttle when the pedal hits the floor.....you wanna make sure you have full power when doing burnouts.
