RE: Carb spacers

Carb spacers, in my opinion, are worth the $60 bucks. They do, indeed, reduce incoming fuel temps, fuel/air mixture temps, & provide the fuel/air mixture more time to atomize. I experienced an instance where the spacer wuz required cuz the throttle lever on my Holley contacted the intake through the range of motion. Phenolic spacers supposedly insulate from heat better than the aluminum, but are a bit more expensive (+$10 or $20). U can get them anywhere from 1/2" to 3" that I've seen, watch Ure hood clearance! & make sure the bores match (duh, bet U knew that) I've gotta 1" phenolic from Holley on my '73 F100 w/390. It rocks, go get one.

This thread, so far...
