It's tight, new engine mounts. One tab on the booster stuck out and hit so I ground it down. I shimmed the booster and MC with a 1/16 shim on the engine side for a little extra clearance. Got maybe a 1/4" now. I have no idea what'll happen when it's running.
What would be a safe clearance if I decide to modify my original booster? Like you, I would have to remove the tab and would have that amount of clearance... about 1/4". Is there a chance the valve cover may still hit the booster when running? Trevor
