Carb spacer problems
I'm running a 2701 Edelbrock dual plane intake, 1405 Edel carb.
I decided to put an Edel heat spacer on to cut down on carb heat. The spacer has a center portion that runs full length between the 2 sides of the manifold. The car refuses to idle with this spacer in place. It acts like it's getting no fuel. Is the center divider screwing things up maybe? The original gasket is wide open with no center divider. I don't see any holes in the base that are being covered completely. I've had the carb off this thing many times so
I'm pretty sure everything is back as it should be. No smog at all. 1975 350.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
