The the phenolic spacers are insulators. On other cars they
would be installed between the manifold and the heat shield
and/or the heat shield and the carbs.<br>
<br>
But these match the CAB side of the carb body, not the
manifold side? Interesting.<br>

Not much help, sorry.<br>

I am reinstalling the H6 carbs after rebuilding them
and I hope to wrap<br>
up everything tomorrow. The Moss kit came with two
phenolic spacers<br>
about 3/8" thick that mount to the outer face of the
carburetor bodies,<br>
assumedly between the face and the air cleaners.<br>
<br>
My car is a Le Mans and cold air box was mounted
directly to the carbs<br>
without any blocks. Using them would make it just that
much more<br>
difficult to get the cold air box and the hose and
hose adaptor in<br>
place. It would also result in the fuel bowl overflow
tubes not reaching<br>
the grommeted holes in the box.<br>
<br>
What function do the blocks serve, are they normally
found when CAB's<br>
are mounted (as opposed to air cleaners) and if so
what harm might be<br>
caused by not using them?<br>
