Does anyone know where to get a carburetor spacer for these carburetors? I have done a search and come up with nothing. The reason i ask is because i was looking on Aussie Speeds tech section on the long runner 2 barrel manifolds and when they were testing they got better flow and distribution with the 2 hole version rather than the open version. As every 2 barrel Australian inlet manifold i have ever seen (including the one i have on the APE)is an open version,i would like to experiment with a spacer until i can afford an Aussie Speed long runner manifold. Cheers, Greg |

If anyone is interested i found these. They fit the slant 6 ,2 barrel inlet manifold. They are great quality and fit perfectly. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... K:MEWAX:IT http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... K:MEWAX:IT The seller was great to deal with and shipped very quickly. No,i don't know the seller. |

If you have a slant BBD it takes a different gasket than a V8 BBD. |

I'd be interested in your findings Bucket. I haven't seen that issue discussed here, but then again I haven't read every thread.  I've got the open version on my parallel 2 barrel. Keep us posted on how the 2 hole versus the single slot works out for you. |

Yes,i know that. I didn't use the gaskets that came with the phenolic spacer,i already had the V8 BBD gaskets. |

It worked out pretty good. I've got the open version on my parallel 2 barrel. Keep us posted on how the 2 hole versus the single slot works out for you. I could get a reasonable idle with the V8 BBD (i also put in 2 butterflies with no holes)with a worn throttle shaft. After i installed the 1/2 inch spacer and started it up it sat there idling smooth as. I took it for a drive and it was/is smoother through the rev range and has a bit more pick-up when i accelerate up a hill. Gympie has a lot of hills,i think they just laid the bitumen on top of the old goat tracks. I guess the word i'm looking for is CRISPER. It seems to of made acceleration CRISPER. |
