Default 4100 Heat resistant carb spacer

Does anyone know where (online because I am in Australia) I can get something like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-1-BACKOLI...item1c16c58245

But with the vaccuum port in the back that I can use with my 4100 Autolite.

What's wrong with the one you listed? Seems like a decent deal .... Do you need a shipper?

Never mind, I didn't read the entire post. Let me know if I can help.

he needs one with cvacuum port. I picked one up at a carshow in Sweden for a friend.
However, I don't remember if that was a square bore piece or an open spacer, but on a square port spacer you shouldn't really pick it from one port as that one would then run lean as crap

i'm afraid if you have to get with vacuum pickup on spacer, you'll need to get an open spacer, but that won't match the stock intake if you have one.

I wonder if someone who actually runs a 4100 on stock intake with spacer chimes in :-)

You can't thread and tap phenolic or fiber laminate very well, so you're going to need an aluminum spacer. Just use thick gaskets and it'll be ok. Mr Gasket even makes heat dissipator kits that you might consider.

ya. the only one I found on ebay australia was:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-CARBY-SPA...item1c168fcfdf

but that's alum and open spacer. anyone ever seen a 4 port spacer with vacuum pickup? I haven't. And I'm not really sure if you can use open with the stock intake.

funny thing is seearch ebay australia for carb spacer: 15 results. carby spacer: 60 results :-D

Yeah I thought that may be the case. I will look at the Mr Gaskets kits.

Yeah, everybody calls them a carby in Australia.

Thanks for your help so far everybody.
