Manifold Vacum Fitting

I am changing the intake manifold on a 327 small block to an Edlebrock EPS. The vacum fitting is partially blocked by the carb (Road Demon) when installed. There is only about 1/2" clearance uncer the fuel bowl and the maniflold. Any ideas on what fitting I can use? The stock fitting is way too tall. :banghead:

Edelbrock sells a low profile, 90degree fitting just for this. I'll see if I can find it and post it :cheers:

The filter has a vent return:confused:

I'm not really sure; hopefully someone else will step in and answer. :cheers:

Yes. The filter has a vent fitting that with a line that runs back to the tank.

Thanks anyway. I already ordered the fitting! :lolg:
