Yes I am on my car but my buddy has a Edelbrock on his truck. My carb doesn't get hot enough to burn my hands when I touch it after running the car. My buddies did and that's when we installed the insulator gasket like 340s Fastback showed in the link. It didn't make any difference with his. I wish I had enough hood clearance to try one but even with the thin gasket my air cleaner stud (actually a bolt for more clearance because any stud caused the wing nut to hit) is only about 1/8" from the hood.
