Carb spacer question
I have a stock 352 with a 4V cast manifold and Holley 600 cfm. Below it is a spacer that has anti-freeze running thru it from the heater circuit.
I was once told that these are for keeping the car from freezing, I was also told that I don't need to run anti-freeze thru it here on the west cost because we are sunny Calif. and it never freezes.
Can I by-pass this and keep the spacer and what advantage would doing this be?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, and it is a good idea to do so. It will give you a cooler carburator which will lower the temp of the gas in the carb which give you better fuel/air mixture and less chance of a vapor lock.

Thanks gentlemen
Maybe I will work on that this weekend.
If I change to a phonelic spacer does the height make a differance and for a stock 352 with headers how tall should it be?
