I posted a thread on here about my car not staying running etc....

Maybe its the rubber 1" spacer?

1st its warped not by much but it wont hold a straight edge and its also hard as rock is this normal or should it be somewhat soft/flexible/sink in?

Everytime I take the carb off its soaked with fuel?

Already tried RTV slackening the spacer to manifold and using a thick paper gasket on top where it meets the carb with the same results.

Also tried bolting it down as tight as I could get it without the aluminum snapping.

I choice to use the rubber gasket because of the 4 cylinder vibrations.

Is it the spacer?

How about a  1" aluminum spacer on a 4 banger?

I'm using a 2150 MC, Ive tried two other carbs a 2100 and ford ranger 1bbl with same results

I also epoxied the tiny hole in the corner for the choke, because I'm running a manual choke not the stock vacuum one

Already tried paper gaskets between the intake and carb

I think since with these spacers you can see the in print of the carb you last had on and me trying on a 2150 when a 2100 was on there originally caused the imprint to get dissorted and made a big vacuum leak.

Whats best the spacers with the two holes or open ones with no throttle plate holes

and there expensive $80 for the average one from summitt

Also finding a rubber spacer seems impossible looks like only racerwalsh Carry's them

Il try a Phenolic spacer but first want to be sure that its the casue.
