Does anyone know what the correct length is for the carb stud used on very early cars with large air filters?

Thanks

I think you mean large taller filter. If all else fails take the proportions of the typical stud used with the hipo filter and upsize it by the differance in the amount on the taller filter.

Right, taller.  I don't have the filter here, so thought someone might know the correct stud length.  It's about 1 inch or so longer.
