| Post subject: | Carb spacer-Edelbrock 500 |
I have an Edelbrock 500 manual choke to go on my Offenhauser 4bbl intake. I got a rebuild kit for the carb and it came with a gasket that matches the bottom surface of the carb, but is only regular gasket thickness, not 1/4" or 1/2" thick like I have seen on most carb spacers. Is a spacer needed, and if so, where do I get one that will fit. Thanks, Stephan |

As an auto parts store for a carb base gasket for a '75 Ford F250 with a 390 4bbl. You should get a nice thick gasket that matches the Holley and AFB bolt pattern. |

Does Edelbrock have the same pattern as Holley and AFB? |

Yes..... Summit Racing sells them too made from different materials to minimize heat soak. |

Yes, the Edelbrock is an AFB clone.

I've heard that Edelbrock is a copy of Carter. Is this right? Are Carter and AFB the same? |

AFB is a Carter model. The Edelbrocks are updated a little (cheaper to produce) than the Carter AFBs of twenty years ago. Things like stamped steel throttle plates instead of machined brass, etc. |
