You could use carb spacers but that wouldn't help fuel rail clearance...

You can put spacers under the carbs but then you need to dink with the throttle linkage and the return spring.
I thought about that however I really don't want to change the signal to the carbs.

someone on epay sells a billet 6pak spacer - looks like a nice piece - don't know how effective it is - try a search - sometimes it's up there...ooops just realized your question - after my coffee - this is for raising the carbs higher off of the intske - not raising the aircleaner- sorry

No raising the aircleaner off the top of the carb. This item was on E-bay? The reasopn for me wanting to do this is to get the base off the distributor and off the top of the carb. I'm running the Demon sixpack setup and they want you to mod the base by cutting it.

I have 1/2" spacers under my carbs because the center one has meth jets in it. Why does your lid hit the fuel line? did you install it upside down? Mine drops way down and isn't even close. If you raise the air cleaner you are going to put it into the hood. I had zero room w/ my stock hood so I had to go get a glass cowl hood.
He has demon carbs , fuel inlet is in a different location than the standard Holley carb.
Sounds like something easy to whip up if you have access to a CNC.

Yeah, that's it. I know some CNC shops locally but it would be too costly

It is a lowdeck motor with an airgrabber so I need at least and inch raised to get the aircleaner in the correct position
I'd have a based fabbed up then. Not sure you can "space" an entire inch out.

Sure you could , make a spacer that looks like the gasket , we have a prototrak on a bridgeport , make a drawing and crank out 3 in a heartbeat ... ok maybe 2 heartbeats ...
