need to find heated carb spacer

Does anyone know where I can find a carb spacer with the coolant lines (heated spacer) for a 2bbl on a 360? I would like to find one cheap or free if possible. Thanks for any help!

Pretty sure I still have the one on my original manifold (which I removed when I installed an Edelbrock manifold.) I'll take a look today and PM you.

Sorry, I looked for it but couldn't find it. I think I scrapped it about a year or so ago when I did a big scrap run.

Yesterday, I found 1 C2AZ-9A589-G NOS for a 1962/65 Galaxie 352/390 2V. It'll fit, because the carbs are all 2100 series Auto-Lites.

But, there were never any 'coolant lines' used with these spacers .. just 5/8" heater hose.

Link in post 7: Marked: C7AE-9A589-A2 = Ford Part number C7AZ-9A589-A .. 2V Carburetor Spacer Plate / Obsolete ~ No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

ONLY applications: 1967/68 Fairlane 390 / 1967/69 Galaxie/LTD 390 // 1968/70 F100/350 360/390 / Seller claims it's off a 1977 F150 w/a 390, but that's BS for two reasons.

Thanks for the info NumberDummy. I actually want to put the spacer on my '75 F250 360 in place of the one that came stock w/the vaccuum sensor for the "fuel economy" dummy light.

Do you know what other differences (heads, carb, emissions, etc) there are between my '75 and the '68 those spacers came on?

1973/76 360/390 carb spacer plates were what the EGR valve mounted to. Factory installed EGR/Carb plates were aluminum, hot gasses caused them to melt internally.

Ford replaced them with cast iron EGR/Carb spacer plates.

Thanks for the interesting info. Did the before mentioned coolant spacer have melting issues or is it cas iron? I do not believe mine has an EGR valve? There are no lines of any sort going to the carb spacer except for the fuel economy vaccuum sensor.
