Thanks Larry. The only spacer I think I'm going to use is the one I got from you (to turn the carb sideways)
I've been focusing on the body/interior of the Nova since December. I have a nova show tomorrow and after that I am going to focus on getting that engine ready. I'm not quite done with the interior, but I need to take a break form working on it. Looks good from a distance though:
