Re: [FWDLK] Flat 6 carb spacer

[Brian Cooper <brianlcooper@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Spacer on top of heat shield.  The correct sequence is:

 

Manifold

Gasket

Heat Shield

Gasket

Spacer

Gasket

Carb

 

Yes, it needs three gaskets to work without leaking.

Subject: [FWDLK] Flat 6 carb spacer

Ok, this should be my last question for now. I'm having hard starting problems with my flat 6 in my 56 Plymouth when it's hot. I've been having them for years but never really bothered figuring it out. I was talking to Dave at C@C about it and he mentioned to me about a spacer between the carb and manifold. Helps to keep the gas from boiling out of the carb. I do have the spacer on my carb. Here is the question.

In the order going up, should it be

manifold - spacer - heat shield - carburetor

or

manifold - heat shield - spacer - carburetor

should the spacer be between the carb and heat sheild or between the heat shield and manifold.
