Hello,

we own a 1953 Cadillac and have sometimes problems to start the engine when hot. So we think about to use a spacer between the carb and intake manifold.

The engine has a Carter carb. ( original equipment ) WCB 2005S.

Has someone an idea where we could get such a spacer ?

Thanks for your help in advance

My 55 Olds uses the same carb. The factory spacer is nothing more than 4 carb to manifold gaskets stapled together. 4 gaskets with a bit of permatex between them would work just fine........Bob
