two barrel phenolic spacer needed.

Post by ezernut9mm »

who makes them and where to buy? i've had no luck finding one. i have a factory aluminium one, but it is warped. it took two gaskets on the carb side to seal it and i still don't think it's sealed right. the carb is true-i checked that and it is good. also, who makes good rubber vacuum caps that don't disintigrate after a couple of months like the autozone ones?

Ford used them on 302s and 351s that were equipped with variable-venturi carburetors (2700 and 7200 VVs) from about 1979-1983.

Good luck.

EZ,

For many years now I've taken the EGR valves and "gutted" them, plugged the 1/2" hole and used them for this. :thup:
Aluminum usually though, not phenolic.

Nope, not the same bolt pattern. :(
