make sure that you use the little cardboard or rubber gaskets on the Carb
spacer and air cleaner.

i had a vacuum leak because one was missing.

for any modifications that might be necessary for the throttle cable and its
attachments. Currently the cable is running at near perfect horizontal and
allows for full open. However, adding a spacer is going to slightly alter
that geometry.

if the cable isn't exactly horizontal? Do I need to either raise the
manifold bracket or provide a lower attachment on the carb linkage arm? Or
can I leave as is and just make whatever adjustment to be sure the throttle
opens fully?
