Looking at making up some of these. These are intended to help insulate the carbs from the engine further at the carb base. Who's interested?
These were available at one time for $15 each. I should be able to do a set of 4 for $24, if i can get some quantity. Figured I'd see how much interest is out there. Attached image(s) |

I've always used insulating gaskets on my -6s, so I imagine they'd also help on the carbed -4s.

2:32am? When do you sleep? Looks like they will fit on any intake that accommodates IDF or DRLA carbs.

When I had carbs, I just used the standard FI phenolic spacer to get insulation from the heat of the heads.

Zack, the spacer would go in between the carb and the intake manifold. Further insurance against heat soak.

I made my own for my six project. Hated machining the stuff, wear a mask.

That's a good idea Mark. Priced very reasonably as well. Could we also request gasket sets that go with these? Currently I order mine from CB Performance but it's an arm and a leg to ship from them for whatever reason.
To install the phenolic spacers, one would need 8 individual gaskets for a dual carb setup. |

if its hot outside or when the engine sits when hot you can experience heat soak to the fuel in the float chambers. can make for difficult starting until the cooler fuel is on board.

How do you know if you are having issues? -Steve They are stock on type 4 FI, a set comes in the gasket set, manifold to head. Heat soak leads to percolation, vapor lock, bad running issues. Are these for the carb to manifold? To install the phenolic spacers, one would need 8 individual gaskets for a dual carb setup. I would add the extra gaskets as well so peeps don't have to source them separately. |

Yes I could do them up easily, maybe $2 a pop depending on the material cost. |
