Howdy guys, I noticed my carb was sucking some air when I shot it the base of it with some gum out cleaner, while it was wet all of a sudden she started runnin real good! I pulled the carb off today after work and noticed their is only one manifold gasket under the carb? I could be mistaken but I think its supposed to have two right? One one each side of the carb spacer? Any advice would be welcome. By the way it's a 2-barrel stock carb on a 292 v8
Thanks Steve

 

Yep 2 gaskets are needed

 

You need Fel-pro #60048 for the base gaskets on the spacer. If you cannot find them local, check eBay. I was able to get two shipped to my door for around $3.

Do you know anyone who sells the spacers? I want to and another spacer to try and increase low end torque.

 

Thanks you were right! Works great!

I called NOS and they wanted $179. That included shipping. The manager is going to call me back if they can do better on the price. I only have $200 in the carb with a fresh rebuild so $180 for the spacer is a little hard the swallow.

Thank you for the research. I will call one of the others if NOS does not come back with a realistic price.

 

Why not check eBay? I am sure you can find a good used spacer for a much more reasonable price. There was a 64 F100 at our Pick N Pull that had a spacer. Maybe check in your area for the same.

 

Did'ja call the other two sources to find out what their prices were?
