Re: carb spacer info
Depends on who you ask. The best answer I can give you is every motor is different and you MAY gain power with one. Open spacers help with top end HP while 4 bore spacers will produce a little more torque; but, you may actually loose power with either. They are pretty cheap, and a lot of people have em laying around. I suggest taking a few different sizes and go out to the track- write which one you used on each time slip and dont make any other changes.
Wood spacers can help with keeping heat from transfering from the intake to the carb
