edelbrock spacer
got a 72 sbc, in a 70 gmc. mostly stock maybe rv cam, it has an edlebrock performer intake dual plane and edlebrock 1405 carb. but it has a carb spacer about an inch tall. I got the intake off right now, my question is do I need to put this spacer back in. or can I just bolt the 1405 to the performer with a fiber gasket. this is not a hot rod just trying to make a good dependable daily driver thanks

Re: edelbrock spacer
If you dont run it you will experience carb. gas boil. Most Edelbrocks need this.

Re: edelbrock spacer
Also an edelbrock air cleaner wont fit directly on an edelbrock carb without a banjo fuel fitting. the out of the box fitting on the carb will interfere with the air cleaner. Atleast all the old ones I had did. The spacer is a good thing for the reason mentioned above.
