I had to put a 1/2" spacer (Mr Gasket) under my aftermarket breather, did earlier realize you had a different breather, if you want to use the aftermarket one this spacer will work for you and it cheap.

John,
I took a look at those a few days ago but worried about hood clearance, so I held off.
It's lookin' like DaveM's generosity will solve this little problem soon enough. (We should be meetin' up at a nice car show this Sunday in Staatsburgh, N.Y.)
Good info, though. Thanks.
Kevin

Just for tech info....It allows for about 3/4" clearance with the GM bow tie on top, I haven't had any problems with the ones I have installed...yet,  Dave's will be better

I have to admit, I have an aftermarket air cleaner which created the same problem.  I used my  body hammer and created a dimple that allows the clearance for the pump linkage.

I have to admit, I thought about hittin' my aftermarket air cleaner with a hammer, too. I think I was after different resluts at the time, though. LOL
Hey, I'm no worse for the wear. I get a kick out of learning about this kind of thing
Before I joined this site about all I could do was check the earl.

Well, the new GM Performance air cleaner from DaveM did the trick. No more problems!
A big round of thanks to DaveM for his generosity and to others who kicked in some good info. on this!
Another slam dunk for C3VR!
