I need to put carb spacer on my 289 performer edelbrock, 600 holley, 302 motor to get another inch for ram set up I'm doing to work. Was looking at 4 hole (heard a little better low end). Seen a couple options. A Mr gasket for $25 dollars and the attach for $90. The $90 dollar one has some twist in the bores they claim to be more effiecient. Just wonder what folks think - marketing hype?

just one of those Phenolic spacers, you can get them for under 50

 

don't wase your money on the swirly one just get a straight one

 

is it possible to make one. well not possible lol but would it work. i have a mill but i want to make sure if i make it to the same specs will it perform the same?

 

Check with Soaring... he'll make one out of plywood for ya!

holy cr*p lol plywood? wow hes hardcore!!!!!!!!!! I just want to make sure its gonna work and not waste my time, aluminum, and sweat. ( yea it isnt a CNC)

 

Yep, Plywood. It works great, trust me. It's not as pretty as the phenolic spacers, but it works just like them.

 

i can see the wood getting saturated and then one backfire and boom your carb comes flying up thru the hood

 

no no lol soaring knows all about engine fires. he is a pro when it comes to pyrotechnics up front

 

I bought a 1" spacer, mounted it and started the engine, but had to pull it off because it wouldn't clear my hood with the Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap manifold (I never had a problem with a 1" spacer and an Edelbrock Performer manifold. It is the 4-hole Mr. Gasket spacer BTW. You, or anybody elsewithin the continental U.S.can have it for $15 shipped.

BTW, don't laugh at Soaring's plywood idea. You can buy wood spacers. Oh yeah, save your time CNC'ing a custom aluminum spacer, it'll pass the heat right on through to the carb.
