The vents are from Vintage Air. Page 52 of their online catalog, part # 49053-VUQ.

Pictures of your dash setup? I'd love to see 'em. :)

Ah yes, I didn't make the connection to that thread. :)

You could return the favor for me! Which shaker base are you using? I literally need to order one tomorrow. I've been trying to find some measurements on the PTFB and the WFO units.

What I specifically need to know are 2 measurements, and they are related:

- the difference in height between the carb mount surface and the shaker ring lip?

- the difference in height between the carb mount surface and the bottom of the base?

I'm told the second measurement on the PTFB unit is 2". But I cannot find the first measurement for either.

I'm trying to fit my shaker / hood / engine combination, and I need to drop the shaker lip about an inch from stock. If there's any chance you could measure the above on your shaker base, that would help me a ton!

Thanx!

Tell you what, I will take pics with all the measurements.. I will show with a ruler, and I will put my WFO on and than I will put stock base on..

That would be awesome! Thank you... I'm almost certain I will get the WFO. Did you order it from Larry directly, or from Butler Performance, or another source?

qnitro 04-21-2013 09:35 PM

From Butler.. Its funny, I have ANOTHER 1975 Trans am with a Similar LS2 set up as you, Fast TB and Edlebrock Intake, that I will have to do the same thing.. Yes, I have 3 Damn Trans Am's... I wish I would just finish one.. LOL.. I just ordered the vents from Summit.

I will also take pics with the WFO and stock shaker on my LS2 with the Fast TB too.. Im west coast time.. So I will post around 7 or 8 my time..Tomorrow

I wish I had the time, and space, for that many projects! :)

You don't have to actually mount them to measure. If you can literally lay a straight-edge across the bottom of the WFO and measure up to the carb mount, then up to the shaker lip and give me those 2 numbers, I would be all good. :) Don't want to cause you too much work, and those 2 measurements are all that I actually need.

qnitro 04-21-2013 09:41 PM

Ahhh easy enough, I will straight edge it and measure.. I will get that for you tomorrow with pics.. so you know what and how I measured

Great!

I just reread your thread. I wish I could make progress that quickly. ;) You mentioned needing to change intakes in that thread, but the latest pictures still look like you're using the Vic. Jr. Did the WFO solve your height problems?

qnitro 04-21-2013 10:01 PM

Look like it.. But I only test fitted..If I have to I will buy the WFO2.. Hell I will have all of them
