Just to clarify, with dual carbs, IDF's or DRLA's, use the phenolics because they'll keep the fuel in those carbs from heating up and even boiling. But with a center mounted carburetor you really DON'T want to use phenolic spacers. Reason is that with that long run from the carburetor to the head the runners tend to ice up in hot weather and fuel mixture will form droplets. Means it's a good thing to get some heat up into the runners, and no worry because the fuel in a center carb is too far away from the heads to ever get hot enough to boil the fuel in the bowl.
I know that may be a bit counter-intuitive, cool dual carbs, heat a single carb, but that's how it works. |
