I am looking for some advice on carburetor setup. I know there are 100's of threads on this, but I am looking specifically for advice on setup for IDF 40's. I've read where putting phenolic spacers in place limit the possibility of boiling the gas.
So my first question is what is the basic setup? Are we talking about a Victor Reinz type of gray/black gasket between the head and the manifold intake. Then a 1/4 or 1/2" phenolic spacer between the intake and the carburetor? Also, is there a paper/cork gasket that has to go on either side of the phenolic spacer? I plan on replacing the hex bar with either the CSP linkage or, more than likely, Chris's pulley setup, but I want to make sure the setup between the carbs and manifolds is ideal before I start tinkering with the air flow and syncing them. Any feedback would be great. Here is a pic of the spacers that I'm looking at: ![]() |

Also
You will likely need longer studs to accommodate the spacers Use care pulling the stock studs out of the heads |
