This Carb spacer didn’t work for me, but might for you
So we both agree that in the ebay ad it should say, some modifications might be needed.
1) you might need to angle chamfer your stock factory Holley Carb.
2)you might need to purchase a Allen cap style screw, or special bolt, or convert your intake to have purchase studs to bolt on your carburetor.
3) you might need to drill through the spacer and gaskets supplied.
It shouldn’t say it will work on all slant six models
To be specific it will not work on any 1963-72 slant six abodies with out modifications.
This is a 1980s truck style carb spacer which the intake has no provisions for the pcv.
Just because you guys are buddies on this form doesn’t mean your right. This thing didn’t work, so either fix it or fix your description.
I agree, for the unaware/unprepared, the description should point out it
can fit the years listed w/mods needed up to '72. You were expecting to take 2 screws out, scrape the gasket off, & put it together.....You didn't look up an OE gasket for Your car ahead of time, because You took "it fits all" & figured they're all the same. The part is clearly & accurately pictured, had You known, You'd have realized it was going to need mods.
I disagree with the Title of this thread, it is not a waste of time, even having to make mods. This is an easily surmountable issue, and having a thicker heat isolating spacer is worth doing whatever it takes, adjusments etc.
I guess I'm just used to doing whatever it takes, & moving on, it's no biggie.........
As far sticking up as 'buddies', I don't believe I've spoken to Matt one time, & may have posted in a common thread a few times in the 10yrs. I've belonged to FABO & the Slant Six Forum.......soooo don't go there Sport. My opinions & comments are the way it is, and Mine.
