Carb heat shield . . . anyone try this?

Yep,
I have used that one. Now I have gone to the stackable type, as my LD4B intake is taller than the performer I had been running. And clearance is an issue for me. I just use two gaskets and one plate out of the kit. Much thinner than the Edelbrock one, and still seems to block the heat really well.

I don't like the stackable type "heat shield". The ones where you stack thin gaskets and aluminum plates. They allow for too much variation in height when you are installing them and you can break ears off of your carb base. I used them once and ended up cracking an ear off of my carburetor base.

I use a 5/16" thick carb gasket which won't let that happen.
