I have and do, I'll take a picture for you tomorrow when I swap carbs. I took a 4 hole spacer and connected primary to primary, and secondary to secondary. Runs a ton better since then.

Heh, I bought a 1" phenolithic (whatever sp.) 4 hole spacer for 18 dollars. Best 18 dollars I've ever spent.

i work at a dodge dealership here in charlotte as a technician. still training through school, but i'm getting there. i have learned more being in the shop hahaha, especially when it comes to theory. never realized there was so much "theory" involved in diagnosing motors. one thing though i dont get to work on much is CARBS!!! hahahaha, except my own. but yea, i'm going out to buy my spacer here in about 20 minutes. pending traffic issues today. LOL i hope it works out for me!!!

I run one!

1" seperate runners.

I like it, but it will make you air cleaner rub the hood if you try to close it! Works for me, because I dont allow my hood to close completely. I also have forgot how it ran before, it has been so long.

Go get a 1/2 heat disipater plate from edelbrock, it is a 4 hole and its insulates heat from the carb $13.00, then you can close the hood.
