Spaced Out



I bought a phenolic carb spacer to keep the carb cooler. I had noticed that the car was a little difficult to start after driving for more than 15 minutes. This piece is only 3/8" tall, which is great because I have no room under the hood to raise the carb much more than that. As you can see from the photo, the spacer was more of a restrictor plate as it arrived, a little too small. So about 15 minutes later with a Dremel and a coarse grinder bit and fine grinder bit and I was in gasket-matched business. (In the photo, the brown spacer is peeking out from between the grey carb gaskets. Sorry, no "after" photo...)
