What air cleaner do you guys run on the 2GC? I'm considering trying that carb with merc intake out first(i lucked out and found an aluminum merc intake at a swap meet) is there anything else I need to look for/modify? how do you have your throttle linkage set up? I just put in a stromberg e-fire distributor the other night so ignition system is covered does anyone make a phenolic spacer for the chevy carb or have you guys found those ones don't boil as bad?
