Carb Spacer
I have installed a pcv system that uses the wiper port but am not satisfied with this setup. I researched other systems and it seems that using vacuum from a different source may work better. The other source is vacuum from below the carburetor, but would not want to drill a hole in the intake manifold. I would like to keep the manifold untouched in that respect. There must be a plate that has an intake port on it that I can install between the carb and the intake manifold. I run a 239.4 8ba that is stock. Where can I purchase such a spacer plate if there is one available? Thank you in advance.

Re: Carb Spacer
there was a plate for the southwind heater, just small vacuum ports about the size of the wiper port, then the columbia plate with about 3/8 holes

Re: Carb Spacer
Watch eBay for one of those? They have something called a "Saved Search" that is very useful for something like this.

Re: Carb Spacer
I'll bet a "Wanted" ad in the "Swap Meet" will make one magically appear (and probably cheaper than eBay).

Re: Carb Spacer
Here's a picture of two different styles of Southwind plates. Let me know if you want one instead of e-bay. All other pieces available as well. Gary

Re: Carb Spacer
Does the Columbia plate work on an 8BA with stock intake manifold using Holley 94? Thank you in advance!

Re: Carb Spacer
I would say yes, the plate has also been used in trucks with vacuum 2 speed rears, and power brakes, I would like to make one using phenolic as heat isolation, that way it can be dual purpose
