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]

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.

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]

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