Fanie,
It is interesting that they stacked them that way. It must help with the mixing????
So when you did this mod, besides increased torque did you experience any better mileage?

A while ago when I installed the 390 Holley on the barracuda - I accidentally bought an open instead of a closed spacer - the 4 holer that I had on was damaged after some one drove over it - idiots will not be named here - so the layout is manifold 4hole spacer 1/2inch, open phenolic resin 1/2 inch spacer, and carb.... The car pulled better through out the range it was immediately evident.... and now I came across this article read the caption regarding the carb and the one regarding th manifold spacers http://www.popularhotrodding.com/tech/0 ... heads.html |

As I said - the manifold spacers was a fluke - had to get the car ready for a rally - I am looking into the the spacer between carb throttle plate and main body. I didn't even have a look yet at fuel consumption - it only did a bout 1000km since the "change" but I have tank to tank consumption figures with the BBD, 450, 390 and 390 stacked - will report back. |
