Machined from natural-finish aluminum, this 0.850-inch spacer plate aligns individual venturi ports and comes with gaskets, studs, bolts, nuts and lock washers so you can mount a square-bore base to a spread-bore flange without custom fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this adapter let a square-bore carburetor fit a spread-bore manifold?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Edelbrock 2696 is a port-matched spacer that converts the square-bore carburetor base flange to the spread-bore footprint used by many stock Quadrajet and Thermo-Quad intakes. It keeps each venturi aligned so the carburetor and manifold flow paths remain consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.850\" thick machined aluminum plate for stable carb\/manifold spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndividual ports that match square-bore venturis to spread-bore flanges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes upper and lower gaskets to prevent vacuum leaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardware kit with studs, bolts, nuts and lock washers for a complete install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this kit work with my Q-jet or Thermo-Quad intake?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe adapter is specifically shaped to accept Edelbrock square-bore carburetors while bolting to OEM-style spread-bore intake manifolds such as Quadrajet (Q-jet) and Thermo-Quad.
