Carb Spacer

Ok I have yet to see this on here so im going to ask it. Anyone use a carb spacer? I know I have used them with 4 barrels on boingers, I would imagine it would have the same effect. Anyone tried it?

I use the stock plastic spacer , vacume line distributor, thinger, mabober.

I just open up the holes on it a bit cause if you look at it you will notice they taper in then back out

got me

I'm not sure what this looks like, but typically that's done to make the airflow uniform across the area.

Actually I think it may be done to achieve a predetermined vacuum signal measurement at given RPMs, as the phenolic spacer is the vacuum "station" for the whole emissions system.

It is restrictive, and you can take a rotary bur grinder to it.
You would need to stack three up to see a difference, and that's only with a heavily modded Nikki.
Search about it and insert "peejay" in the user name blank.

It could be used for that too...
