Insulating Against Heat on the Carb

What did you end up going with? I just bought the Edelbrock thick gasket https://www.summitracing.com/parts/edl-9266 and will be getting it running hopefully tonight. I also am going to use header wrap around my fuel line above the intake manifold leading up to the carb. We'll see how it goes. Thing all but died off the line against a Monte Carlo a couple weeks back and I don't like to misrepresent Mopar.

I ended up ditching the Edelbrock carburetor and installed a Holley. I kept the 1/2" phenolic spacer on the car for good measure. I did not block off the heat crossover at all on my intake. I have not had a single problem since switching to the Holley carb.
