RE: Carburetor spacer/blanking plate

Tim,

The first thing I would do is match the intake ports to the engine. It may
turn out that some milling of the manifold port flanges is needed for them
to match the heads. If so, you gain a little clearance along with better air
flow. Second, I would mill about 1/4-1/2" off the carburetor flange to
provide clearance for a thermal barrier spacer. You might even angle the cut
downward toward the front of the car to optimize the clearance.
