So I'm contemplating running a carburetor spacer and have some questions. I have a 340 stock stroke , 10.5/1 , .525 solid cam with 1.6 RR , Eddy aluminum heads , Victor intake with a brawler 750 , 4 speed and 4.56s. I've had numerous people suggest a carb spacer. 1) Are they even worth it? Do they make a noticeable difference? 2) If so what spacer is good for my application? 4 hole? open? also height and material? Thank you in advance.
 
Check hood clearance first then you'll know how far you can go without carving a hole in your hood. Many of the racers use wood. Excellent insulator.
 
Canton Racing has a wide variety of phenolic spacers including tapered 4-hole. I didn't make any comparisons, but the 1" phenolic tapered 4-hole was what I used on my 360 Dart Sport. Better insulating qualities than aluminum with the tapered bores, or whichever style you choose.

As with most other engine modifications, any changes you make may benefit from re-jetting the carb for optimum results.
