Carb for 408

Would a phenolic carb spacer fix that? or the Street Demon with the polymer bowl?
Yes, but no matter which one you use, use a thicker gasket under the carb like Edelbrock sells to help combat the carb from getting to hot and boiling the fuel. The gasket is about .333 thick.

The carb spacer should be left for tuning the engine combo and the phenolic resin carb centers help keep the fuel cooler but can combat the intake heat to keep the fuel cooler by its self.

Any carb can suffer from an intake to hot .
