Plastic And So-Called Phenolic Carb Spacers

Wood spacer story. Worked great.

A Freind was going rounds at the drags. And after he won and in the pits he opened the hood, I felt the carb and it wasn’t hot like the rest of the engine. I could leave my hand on it.

Car has 450 cube BB iron heads, alum intake, headers with mufflers, unknown if intake heat passage was blocked. Flat hood with no hood scoop.
