Airgrabber base

[sc440]

Just ordered a airgrabber base (69 440) it’s going on a 440 with a holley dp carb. These 2 tabs in the carb mount base I have circled don’t allow it to sit flush on carb do you bend them up? Looks like they are meant to line it up straight but not not on a Holley?

Bend them up or cut them off. Can't remember which I did.

They don't fit anything but a stock carb !! The purpose is to keep the base straight front to back.

What kind of wingnut setup are you guys using? The one that holds the base to carb which is inside the aircleaner I was thinking about welding a washer to it big enough that it could never fall threw the carb and in the engine.
