Good. Glad that worked out. Buy some Play-Doh or similar and make a Ball and set it on Top of the Air Cleaner. Slowly close the Hood and Latch it. Open the Hood and the Play-Doh should be compressed and show how much clearance You have.

Mark: Thanks, I bought the Trans dapt 2584 spacer with the vacuum port, thru a B.C. parts outfit, Lordco, over the counter for about the same price. Unfortunately, the size of bore openings is somewhat big. However, my "B" intake is dual ovaled & I was able to trim the gasket & taper the mounting area slightly (it's not on the car) with the Die Grinder to reduce reasonably well the mismatch. Now however, as the spacer is 1" thick I'm trying to calculate if I've got enough hood clearance on my 57 car, with a stock air cleaner?.. It's going to be close!..

Mark; Thanks, but I guess I've put the cart in front of the horse somewhat, as I bought longer mounting bolts & now have correct gaskets. Just need the spacer. Just waiting to hear from a possible local source.. Also, thanks for the frostplug tip.

 e] PF Arcand (2/28/2018)
ECZ - B intakes for what ever reason, don't have the front vacuum hookup found on 2 bbl intakes, so who makes a carb spacer that includes a place for fitting the vacuum line? And what thicknes is the spacer? It's for a 57 Ford & a thick spacer, I" or more, may not allow hood clearance for a stock air cleaner.. ( I should have thought of these issues earlier! ) And yes, I'm aware that there is access at the rear of the intake, but Ive been advised that a hookup of a PCV there is not recommended, because of a possible lean mixture issue . Info appreciated. [/quote] Paul I don't know if this is helpful but Trans Dapt 2584 spacer Plate is available on Amazon.ca for about $52.00 CDN including shipping.Has the hookup for PCV Hose. Doesn't give Bore size in description but it would be available maybe on the Trans Dapt Site.

Block off Plate for Road Draft Tube can just be a cup type Frost Plug and 2 bolts with flat Washers to fill the Tapped Holes in the Block. Simple and cheap.

A late folow up - All I can say is that the $8.00+ tax Mr. Gasket #55 has 1-3/4" inch holes which barely cover on a ECZ-B, if at all. Ted Eaton put me onto Interface N-8092 & Armstrong VB72 gaskets, which are 1-5/8" hole gaskets & definately fit better.. Thanks very much Ted!

I get 1 1/2" for the throttle bores of the B intake, using a tape measure. THANX!I forgot to ask if the CASCO spacer covered the bores correctly and if he found the correct gasket.  GASKET- CARB MTG - B7A 9447-B (1957 4V 312) - BEST 6151A

I bought that exact same part. The seller on ebay only has a few left. https://www.ebay.com/itm/311350594328Apparently there is also a block off plate used on VW bug engines that also fits.

I don't know if this has been covered but the road draft assembly needs to be removed (or blocked off) to make the PCV functional.
