carb spacer

i just bought a 1 inch 4 hole carb spacer from kragen auto parts and i was wondering if anybody has used this before. i dont know the manufacturer, but it looks pretty generic, nobody famous. will it fit under the stock hood of a 1984 z28 hood? are they easy to put on with all the smog equipment on? thanks

I have a 1/2 inch spacer under a stock hood. But I think that 1 inch will be to thick for a stock hood.

It will be a close fit. Are you using the stock air cleaner or an open element? Will be a close fit if you have an open element. Installation should be pretty easy. All you have to do is take the carb off and that takes like 10 minutes. Let me know if it helps out any! I was thinking about getting one.
