    This might be a dumb question but I can't find the answer anywhere, I am installing a
    Weiand Stealth Intake Manifold 8020 with an autolite 4100 1.12 do I need a carburetor spacer? or just a gasket in between? any help would be awesome :)

    You don't need a spacer, but a spacer can reduce heat transfer to the carb, which can cause the fuel (today's fuel) to boil and cause difficulty in starting when hot.

    Probably wouldn't go more than a half-inch with a high-rise manifold like the Stealth.
