well, not trying to spark any debates, but it solved a hot start issue with my truck after converting to an aluminum intake and edelbrock carb. the carb would get "heat soaked" after shutting it off for say 30 mins to an hour. I know you're going with a Holley (I spied on your build thread haha) but I'm sure the materials used to cast the carb body are similar.
Anyway, I tried the 1" phenolic spacer (4-hole) and *Poof* problem solved
plus, it did add a little power off the line...
