Carb heat shield . . . anyone try this?

65 dart,Though the picture from speedway doesn't show the large aluminum plate/shield(Much like 805's homemade one) that may be it. You layer it with the fiber gaskets between each thin aluminum spacer. maybe a stack of 3-5 of each .
Yes you have to be careful as to not overtighten. Also any auto part store should carry the 4 hole dual bolt pattern fiber spacer that is about 3/8'' thick. I got mine from a Carquest store. That will help.

Stacking plates and gaskets like this will allow the carb to "****" while tightening it down and you may break an ear off of your base plate. I've done it before, that's why I use a 5/16" thick gasket with spacers that will not let it **** like just stacking thin metal plates and gaskets. :violent1:

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! :rambo:

If you try this and break your carb, don't come back here whining..... :sad2: :-({|=
