Thermoquad on Air Gap

This is a tough question. Some people it seemed like can throw a top fuel blower under a stock hood and be fine. Others change the carb and it doesn't work. I'm not much help since I don't know how a TQ compared to a Holley or edelbrock but I do know if I used an one inch spacer with either of those carbs on my swinger it would hit. I would just throw it on there and see if it fits. If not then go back...it shouldn't take more then a few minutes.
