Carb Spacer

[Basketcase]

Summit has this, $44.95
aluminum 1"thick open square bore
Is this what you guys are using?

I prefer the composite (non-metal) ones. $40 shipped to your door.

Nope, I can't use that style, I have three carbs to worry about!

I got one from autozone it was 20 bucks, I heard the wooden ones are best though.

does it matter if it is open like the one in my pic, or have four seperate holes? Holley on a Edelbroke Torker.

I used a composite 4 hole one for my double pumper. Got it from Summit. 1" I believe.

If you are using a stock intake, then the best insulator is the one with individual throttle plate holes. If you are using an open intake (like a Torker) then use an open insulator/gasket. IIRC the ones made of phenolic (sp?) resin will keep the most heat away. I remember a good article within the past few years on dyno testing the various spacers/insulators, and the above info is what my old brain recalls....wish I could remember the magazine....maybe MOPAR Action?

Hey, "whatsyourname", knock it off....

The hardest part is when you can't recall what you recalled after you recalled it...... :huh:

Guys, do those spacers add power? What are the pros/cons of them? I read the same article mentioned here about testing different spacers, and seems like they got better dyno pulls, but not sure what actually makes them give more power??

thanks,
John
