Re: [Amc-list] Carb Spacer...yes or no? (Performance Upgrade ?)

[Todd Tomason <jayscore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When we removed the factory two barrel on my son's 78 Matador, there was a 
1/4" spacer under the carb.  My thinking is that the engineer would not have 
spent the money for the part unless there was a good reason for it.  I 
generally use a 1/2" wood spacer on a four barrel.  It definitely helped with 
hot starting on my son's 360.
