carb spacers
the best 2 inch 4500 carb spacer for a 565 bracket engine.

no such spacer and 2" is 2" too much.

pick your preferred material, color, configuration(4 hole, blended. tapered or open) and buy it because none of them are worth anything on the time slip.

Been there done that on several engines with HP that varied from 500 to 1100 and ain't ever seen .01 in ET or .1 MPH

Look at the big ticket sportsman engine builders with their closest offering to yours. There's your answer.

Call David Hughes at HRE intakes manifolds. I have used lots of spacer combinations over the years and they always made more power than anything else on the dyno.

Reher Morrison 1 3/4 two piece sheer plate
and anti - reversion plate.

They're fast and good Super Pro bracket, won 7 Super Pro championships in 10 years running 4150 and 4500.

Went 1.27 60 ft N/A sbc 3250 lbs 10 x 28 tire, dipped in the 5's all steel Nova using one.

N/A I wouldn't attempt to run an intake with this much plenum without a Reher Morrison sheer anti - reversion plate.

wouldn't run any intake with that much plenum on a heavy, n/a door car and I didn't on the N/A 23 sbc with out of the box All Pro 220's in this all steel Camaro W/ triple chrome plated steel bumpers, factory glass at 3250 lbs on a 10 x 30 radial tire with a 2 speed powerglide that goes 1.27 60ft off the footbrake and runs low 6's N/A, with a 4150 carb, 10" converter, mufflers and has never hit a timing block.

couldn't care any less how much more power it made on a dyno, what it won't do is ET quicker or run faster.

with 1290 on this. I have seen no et or mph gain with or with out snazzy spacers. runs the same as if my stop was under the carb.

ep-what? me and 1290 agree on something again

I will add this, carb spacers can help make more power, this is a fact! Which one depends on a number of factors. Will they give you 30 HP more, nope! SO you need to look at it this way, one little thing won't move the needle much but start adding the little things up and they will!

Some engines like them, some don't, very combo specific. Will they make a difference on the track? Doubt it......

I've ran them, but only to gain clearance for throttle linkages and such....

Al your fact never proves to be true on the time slip where is matters.

Thank you, If I suggest a part, I try to evidence it's performance. I evidence the parts performance, to evidence I'm impartial in regards to its manufacture. I don't work for Reher Morrison, it's a good part or I wouldn't suggest or run it.

You see a lot of suggestions, without any evidence of performance. I try to evidence everything I communicate for those who still use objectivity to come to rational conclusions, rather than opinion.

Mike Rhodes Camaro 1968? just went 4.35 on 275/60 tire at 166 mph. Some power adder I am sure. SBC too. He broke all kinds of records.

Ed, without getting into a great debate, did you read what I said?

BTW you guys coming to NED this weekend?

I did and of course we are.

Meanwhile, Mikey, gets himself all worked up about his nothing special 1.27 60 foot with a 3200 lb. car. Well if 60 foots are your thing then this 3880 lb. ALL steel car with triple chrome plated bumpers, full factory interior including the staple shifter, tilt wheel, heater, defroster, power steering, power brakes...



hell it even had a good for nothing carb spacer




60 foots are astounding with a 1.28 best, launched of the footbrake on 30 x 10 tires and also running through the muffler...

I would be very interested to see that Camaro Ed is talking about try an RPM airgap intake.
June 16, 2020, 11:29 AM
1320racer
it has had several manifolds over many years depending on the engine combo, including the RPM air gap but not with its current 400 sbc engine

Every body is putting the turtle in them. If its that good should have been in there from the manufacturer. My SBC car lost almost 3 tenths fro RPM to Super Victor. Should have tried the turtle in there.
