I have owned this car since the early 90's and had a local shop build a 2056 for me back in 97. They did not install the insulators with the 44 webbers so I did not have them to install with the Dell's, they should have been on the car,there is also no fuel pressure regulator or pressure gauge installed with the Webbers.I have 3 pair of these for the 4 bolt intake but none for a 3 bolt.I'm gonna have to order and wait.Thank's all for the help,and explanation as to why they are necessary.It amazes me that I have been driving the car with boiling fuel all this time.I chose to switch over to the Dell's from studying these forums and better understanding that 44 Webbers are too big for a 2056 and Dells are better carbs plus I was having issues that I thought were a result of the Webbers needing rebuilt now I'm thinking it was probably a result of an intake leak because the engine builder did not install the spacers and the gaskets deteriorated.I took some measurements and decided to cut the bar,there is a hairline crack on one end that would probably be ok but there is enough adjustment in the ball pivots to allow for the spacers when I install them and at least I can mock the plumbing up and set up the throttle linkage and get the car running while I'm waiting.Rob has been a lot of help and given good dirrections on plumbing and installing the fuel pressure regulator and guage which should be an improvement as well.Once I have everything set up pulling the carbs and installing the insulators will be a 1 evening job.I work 6 days a week and have only evenings and Sunday to get any car time in.I hope to have the car running today.Next Sunday I'll install the insulators and the job will be complete.Wish me luck I'm headed out to the garage.
