 Carb Spacers I am pulling my Edelbrock 4-barrel 650 (I think) carb off to re-jet and make it more friendly with the Denver elevation. I am currently running way rich as shown in my 1st Emission Test. When I re-install the carberator, which carb spacer do you guys recommend? There are a ton of different sizes and materials - Summit carries 242 different spacers - whoa! It currently has a very thin gasket and have heard that spacers can help with performance and power. Any thoughts on Carb Spacers, recommended material, style (open or 4 Hole), and width?

Re: Carb Spacers SWEET! I kinda forgot that I have just a 1" Body Lift so I can likely do up to a .500" spacer. I was thinking phenolic would be a good way to go.

Re: Carb Spacers X2 on the Phenolic spacer. I used one on my last bronco and it worked great!

Re: Carb Spacers Great to know on the phenolic material. The PlayDo sounds like an easy way to check clearance. Do you guys like the open spacer or 4-hole spacer?
My Bronco had a Vapor Lock a while back and left me stranded in the middle turn lane. I want to do the spacer to help with vapor lock and the changes ZOSO recommended when I re-install the carb.

Re: Carb Spacers He will need the 4hole spacer. The edelbrock performer is a dual plane intake.
I run a phenolic on my 79. My dad runs a wood spacer. Both seem to work well.
Chad. Get some wrap for that fuel line too. Also fix the kink at the garb.
