    On your 3x2 manifold , do you have the fill tube?
    if so it can be an obstuction, for the raised pump

    I sold a zips not too far back, it had provisions for alternator and ac pump..seems to me things could get tight up front with all that, not sure on how close to the front carb or any interfearence, never got that far with it before i decided against using it.
     
  3. I wish I would had been on that, I need one!

    Yea Ive got the oil fill tube its hitting the riser and the water neck has only about a 1/16 clearence waiting on my a/c kit to come in to see how the compressor is going to look but yes its starting to look tight.

    My oil fill tube had to be cut and angled to miss the front carb float bowl, and sits about where the a/c compressor would.

    could you post a picture up to show how it doesnt interfear with the front carb or fill tube..
    ???

    this was one of the main reasons why i opted out of using a zips, but never thought it would be different with the snow white riser..

    thanks
