Carb spacers

By richard - 11/30/2004 9:10:43 PM; IP 144.137.148.125

... what do they do?

My 390 is going back together, stock 68 390GT S code in a Mustang. Holley Universal 600cfm vac sec carb. It has never had a spacer, never thought it had one, but have seen some Ford docs that indicate a spacer.

What is the benefit? Cooler carb to reduce boiling gas/vapor lock? Beter air/fuel mixing into the intake? Or?

And what are the benefits/drawbacks of phenolic vs aluminum (most common materials I've seen).

Will adding one or leaving it off make any real difference?

This thread, so far...
