1/2 in. thick, open plenum, square bore mounting surface, phenolic, carb spacer

This phenolic carb spacer offers many advantages. It'll extend the length of the intake mixture column to improve air/fuel distribution and reduce the fuel temperature inside the carb, resulting in a denser, more powerful fuel charge. It'll also help with linkage clearance when using custom throttle setups. It features a 1/2 in. thickness and an open plenum design. Gaskets and mounting hardware are included.

The Performer p/n 2101, is not that much shorter than the Torquer 2 - like .03". If a spacer will fit, go with the open style.

Here's Edelbrocks page

Probably you want the divided spacer. Edelbrock has a thin .320" for the Carter carbs like you have #9266 divided (also #9265 open).

 

Thanks guys but I cannot find the part 3's you've submitted nor does their sight have a search mode to input those numbers?????

 

Select "carburetors" from the menu on the left, then select
