Default Performer Carb height?

On Edelbrock’s website it says their performer series carbs are 5� high.
Where are they measuring from? I'm needing the height from the carb base to the air cleaner base? Also does someone know the same measurement for a holley double pumper?

On my 79, I'm using the Performer EPS intake with a Holley Street Avenger carb. I've had to go to a 1 1/2" drop base, offset air cleaner for hood and HEI clearance. The air cleaner is 3" high x 14" diameter.

That measurement is 3 1/2". The 5" is to the top of the air horn.
