Not sure on the uncommon Edelbrock/AFB, but since there's at least 4 
different versions of the so-called 'dogbone' air cleaner, and at least one does 
need a spacer so you can calculate the odds here, regardless of your choke 
clearance, etc. Figure that you'll need at least 2" ABOVE the carb body to 
allow air to make the turn smoothly into the carb throats. And most speed shops 
will allow returns if you pay shipping both ways and don't scratch the 
part, (but verify this first). Good luck- J Deryke
