Heated Carb Spacer - Icing Problems
I checked Clifford for a heated carb spacer and found nothing on their site, ebay has also turned up zilch.
My carb has started to ice up since the colder weather has hit here in Ohio and I'd feel more confident with a hot water spacer rather than using fuel antifreeze.
Anyone have a link or source for a heated carb spacer?

The solution is to have a working hot air air cleaner like the factory installed. This lets heated air enter the carb when cold and after it warms up it will suck in cool outside air.
This is the only solution. The cold air coming into the carb freezes in the air bleeds causing it to run too rich. A heated spacer under the carb will not help.
I have had the same problem of both of my trucks. The factory air cleaner fixed both of them when hooking the heated air part back up.

Would you happen to have a pic of this setup. I don't have a stock intake.

You are going to have to retro fit some kind of stock aircleaner set up due to the fact that you have a 4bbl .
I think but I am not positive that the older 302 air cleaner on the older small bronco might fit on your set up. let me see if I can find a picture .

You may be able to work with that , you will have to have some kind of heat riser on your exhaust I guess that you have a header so in that case you can use ....http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLin...f10930HKR.html

Ahh the heat riser for the header appears to be the ticket.
Thanks much.
