I purchased a dual carb set up and the scoop does'nt fit flush to the carbs. Not even close.Am I missing something?I would have to lift the front of the carbs about 1/2 an inch.???????

are you sure the enter spacing is correct? dual carb setups have different center spacings.
( centerspacing is the messurement form center to center on the carbs) good luck wink :D and pics usally help.

Your carbs may be staggered top to bottom. My brother has an Edelbrock Tunnel ram that the rear carb is about 1/2" higher than the front one.
The other possibility is that the scoop is intended for that style carb layout, and you don't have it.
