Carb to Intake fitment

Hey guys I need to know if I need an adapter to put my carter afb 4bbl on a new edelbrock performer 289. Does anyone have this setup or know? Thanks

No, but I'd recommend a spacer. A good phenolic spacer will keep the carb from heat soaking (which makes hot restarts a PITA) and can improve high-rpm performance.

Ok what do you recommend? Is it just a one inch spacer?

Jon's in shock. He thinks that's huge:P

A 1" spacer would probably work fine. Split plenum, preferably, but a 4-hole will work.
