Default Re: carb spacer

Back in the day, there were allot of flathead intaked made with very low carb mounts. One of the first engines I built had one on it and it ran very poor at low speeds. I tried all the tuning tricks I knew at that time to fix it. AS a last resort I installed 2" aftermarket risers to the intake. The improvement to drivability was dramatic. Since then, I've recommended doing this, it works.
