It separates the carburetor from the intake manifold to limit heat transfer, expand the plenum chamber and simplify installation with supplied gaskets, screws, studs and nuts.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this spacer reduce carburetor heat soak?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy creating a one-inch insulating layer between the hot intake manifold and the carburetor base, the phenolic spacer limits conductive heat flow. That reduces fuel vaporization issues at the carburetor flange and helps maintain a more consistent air\/fuel mixture under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.00\" thickness for measurable thermal separation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePhenolic material resists heat transfer and warping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpen four-hole center preserves airflow while insulating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes gaskets to seal and further block heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat performance changes can I expect after installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spacer increases plenum volume slightly and raises the carburetor, which can improve mid-range torque and throttle response on many 4-barrel setups. Results vary by engine tuning, camshaft and intake design; it’s an incremental enhancement rather than a cure-all for power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpanded plenum for smoother airflow distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePotential improvement in mid-range RPM torque and responsiveness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks best with matching jetting and tune adjustments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot a replacement for major induction or cam upgrades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the uxcell spacer easy to install and which parts are included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes—this kit comes with the hardware needed to mount the spacer and reinstall the carburetor, making it a straightforward bolt-on upgrade for experienced hobbyists or professional installers.

It’s also suited for mechanics and shops looking for an economical, durable phenolic spacer with complete mounting hardware for quick installation. If you need major horsepower gains or are changing induction type, consider broader intake and tuning modifications as well.\n\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use this spacer with any 4-barrel carburetor?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: It fits square-bore 4BBL carburetors; confirm your flange bolt pattern and clearance before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the spacer require tuning after installation?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Minor jetting or timing adjustments may optimize performance, though many installations run fine as-is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"uxcell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48086159687838,"sku":"B0CH196KH8","price":41.44,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/uxcell-front-view-carburetor-spacer.jpg?v=1785887539","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/uxcell-1-phenolic-carburetor-spacer-for-square-bore-4bbl-1-00-insulating-adapter-with-gaskets-hardware","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
