Bought a GMC 302 for my 51 1-ton. Intake manifold has 3 studs about 3" long. I was told they were for the governor that I don't have and don't want to install. I don't know if I should try to put in shorter studs (I bet they would be H*** to remove after 50 years) or should I put in some kind of spacer.

Carb is a 2 bbl with 3 hole mount, not 2 like on the smaller motors with 1 bbl carbs.

Any suggestions?
