Somewhere down the road I may switch over to a Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap intake. From the dyno test I've seen, it has almost as much peak HP but a stronger midrange. I did order a Edelbrock open spacer to try.

I have my doubts it is the meat making her heavy.

What about the mental toll it takes on humans deprived of the pleasure of eating great tasting, satisfying omnivore food? 😁

Nice! I'm sure they will get the money as they are a very desirable car. I would much prefer a T-Bird over the same year Vette.

Forget it guys, I was just thinking out loud.

Weiand Stealth. Years ago I also had what sounds like the same spacer but the bottom plate was a lot wider (not taller) and it displaced the heat from getting to the carb. The multiple gasket was a pain.

Yes, one in each of the eight cylinders.

302w, good heads, cam etc. The thought of compressible corners did occur to me as years ago an unsupported corner of a intake manifold snapped. I have been running a divided spacer on a dual plane but it was shocking (to me) the HP difference a spacer can make at least on the dyno from the Engine Masters program. This was just a thought and might just buy another to try down the road. I have always heard of people doing it but never tried it.

I have been reading and watched Engine Masters (best program ever) about carb spacers and their affect on different engine combinations. They have open, divided, four hole, four hole tapered, 1/2", 1", 2" etc. They act differently on single plane/dual plane intakes. At about $50 a pop to buy the cheap ones, I thought maybe I could find out what my engine wants with wood. If you check Summit Racing, many say they are made of wood but now that I went back and checked the details, it says Phenolic wood so I guess it isn't really wood after all.

Anyone ever make a carb spacer of of wood for a auto four barrel? I would like to play with different ones and thought I could make them. Would regular plywood be the right choice? How could I make sure it was truly flat without a planer? Just kicking this around.

That looks like a great buy. I hope someone here jumps on it.

You can do that? My unknowledgeable assumption was you couldn't do that.

What do you race again? 😁

Oh I'm not getting that. I'd be making the real stuff and ice cream is like crack to me. 🙂 Edit to add: it would be nice to have for those who can control themselves.

So you make it just like real ice cream but use oat milk? Is he still doing the dragon thing?

Welcome to our place Brian.

A very nice but simple design, looks good. Two questions, how are the legs attached to the top and with the top touching the wall, with use aren't you afraid it will rub the paint?

Sounds like a good experiment, send each other wood.

Metal is your friend.

Because of room?

If you were to go the really poor mans route, how about a couple of heavy duty ratchet straps which you already have and use buffers on the edge of the table and a 2x4 across the top to stop bowing? Actually Swap's HF suggestion sounds like the way to go and then you will have it for future use.

Remember when the rearend oil needed changing in his pickup?.......

That's why I stick with the real thing in moderation. Remember when they came out with the alternative to butter, margarine? That didn't work out so well either.

Option 2 might not get you paid. 😃

Thanks. You should put this on your Christmas list.
