    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 :)

    Moved this to it's own thread for you.
    The thread you posted the question in is several years old and this will get you much more exposure.
    My opinion on your question is that no you don't "need" a spacer, but depending on your combination and expectations of the car, it may find that you'd like to try one.
    Maybe a few details about the car and of course we always love to see photos!

    71 gold that is one heck of a clean engine, looks like a lot of modifications. What else did you do
