[DeTomaso] Carb Spacer

[ProvaMo.com]

If you don't mind the fact that you are raising the air cleaner, and perhaps
thus loosing the use of the engine screen... I think it is a good idea.  I
would also get a "wedge spacer" to get the carb more level.
A total of 2-3 inches is the most you need to gain the benefit.

Hi all,
I've read a few places that that a 2" high intake carb spacer can increase
plenum volume. "A spacer increases the carb-to-plenum floor distance which
atomizes the fuel better and also enhances low-rpm torque and throttle
response".  

an example of one for sale on PI:

Anyone have an opinion or experience?  Are these worth the pain of
re-adjusting linkage and all, or just an excuse to sell an expensive piece
of plastic to the unwashed looking for bolt on HP?

thanks,
brent

in a while and will fix if it does...
