I'm getting ready to do a clean and kit on my 40IDF's this Spring and a question came up. I seem to remember talk about using insulating spacers for mounting. There doesn't appear to be anything like this on my current setup.
Do these go between the carb and the manifold or between the manifold and the cylinder head? (2.0L heads)

Who sells them? Part #?

Correct mounting gasket - insulator - gasket?

Currently a few threads exposed at the carb to manifold mount and the manifold to head mount. Will I need longer studs?


I've tried a few search criteria but didn't seem to get the right wording...

Thanks,
Harvey

I used a VERY thin skim of gasket sealant between the phenolic block and the head, and nothing between the spacer and the manifold. At the time, someone had said that was a better option then using a rubber gasket between the head and the spacer. if you sand down the manifold flange so that it is FLAT and SMOOTH you don't need another gasket or sealant between the phenolic block and the manifold.
