New carb spacer fabricated
Hello!
Needed a carb spacer with the opportunity to mount the accelerator cable. Couldn´t find anything that fits my application, so I fabricated my own.

And if you don't have the setup to fab the spacer... https://www.google.com/search?q=holl...Jvc5PHL0-S-VEM

Very nice and clean instead of milling out the plenum divider
In my opinion.... of watching air fuel ratios and trying to figure out how to adjust carburetors and from people much more technically advanced than me. Determined that having a big 3/8ths Pvc to the valve cover leans out the air fuel ratio with polluted crank case air at high vacuum cruise throttle opening and does nothing at wide open throttle with no vacuum when you get the most blow by around the pistons rings
It makes correct carb jetting nearly unabtainable when you watch it on a dyno with oxygen sensors
Vented valve cover breather are better followed by vacuum pumps and the highest quality is dry sump with adjustable crank case vacuum levels up near 18 inches of vacuum actually create more Hp and correct air fuel ratios
I use a breather on each valve cover

I hope that you have solid non breakable motor mounts. Years ago I thought that I had upgraded my vette motor mounts to something much better than stock
Energy Suspension red poly locking motor mounts. Then I was out raising hell with my little 427 small block and 5 speed. I had the throttle blades wide open going around a large sweeping turn when I realized that I didn't have any steering. The driver side motor mount had broken allowing the motor to lift up and wedged the headers against my steering rag joint, locking up my steering wheel
You have a 489 ci
be safe
