Lets try this

How about a B/S thread we can keep from getting closed........









I decided to get some 315s and a set of new wheels for the Excursion.

So Kris, I won't need that pic u forgot to send me. Lol


I'm getting some 16x10s like I had on my 94.

The only reason Joe likes them is because it says Joes showroom on the pic, lolz.

But seriously they're pretty nice. How much do they run?

1) He's not on here anymore

2) Not sure what you were attempting to do there

3) A wooden spacer isn't really that bad of a idea as it will not transfer heat near as much as a metal one.

yup.wood spacers was an old racers trick.
i had a wood spacer on a 273 4 barrel in a 64 barracuda. ran it with the wood spacer for close to 4 years on the track until the crank snapped.
if sealed properly a wood spacer will transfer much less heat to the carb than a steel or aluminum one will.

I've used tin and red RTV along with a regular spacer plate to block of EGRs before. The temp isn't high at all in the intake as it is in a exhaust manifold.
