Air Gap and Vapor Lock

412 Stroker said

I have a Edelbrock 8711 4- Barrel Carburetor Spacers 4 Hole 1 in. Spacer Black Phenolic Plastic no hood clearance Issues for me either.
See Arrow>> NO VAPOR LOCK anymore.
I used to get it ALL the TIME with my old motor, I had no spacer on a torker manifold.

I do have hood clearance issues and it looks like Im using the exact same spacer you are. I have a LA360, airgap with a Holley 670 and the exact same air cleaner your using. When I did a test fit (not closing the hood all the way) it looked like I had pleanty of clearance. When I decided to shut the hood the whole way I dimpled my hood with the wing nut. Not the stud itself, the wing nut! :banghead: I was looking at getting rid of the 1" spacer so I could use the larger air cleaner, but worried about the heat soak.
