If not, it should have. I had one like that on a 1972 Corvette. Eliminates having a pressurized carb

Interesting setup!.. Height of unit would be a problem on many vehicles.

Right? It's a fairly sizable spacer plopped atop the intake manifold. Dropping motor mounts and a dry sump oiling system would be two ways to aid in fitting that beneath a stock hood.

Once upon a time I had a '69 Corvette and became familiar with, "Will not clear stock Corvette hood" whilst browsing Summit and JEG'S for many things, like the RPM Air Gap intake manifolds.
