Reply to "Angled Carb Spacer"

I had to use a 1 degree angled spacer to get my air cleaner to fit properly under my hatches in the Mangusta due to the Edelbrock RPM intake swap being taller...I'm talking about getting the trig tables out and figuring how much angle change at the carb flange equals how much up/down action at the outer circumference of the air cleaner! Short story, is that once machined, it worked like a champ! I used a 3/8" common intake spacer and had it altered to the desired degree of tilt.


BUT, what I am trying to get at, is the sexy self leveling washers that I picked up through Fastenal or MSC, that allow me to tighten the carb down without having to worry about straightening the studs out! Two piece washers fit into each other and move allowing the nut to fit down flat on the washer, and the other washer to sit down flat on the carb flange. No odd looking half cocked nuts here!

Ping me if you wanna try some of these and I'll dig out my receipt and get you name and numbers.

Ciao!

Picture shows 1 degree spacer in front, and a 3.3 degree spacer in the rear IIRC...!
