It adds some horsepower. On recent dyno test had one had 6 horse.

I guess I'm still not sold that is is worth putting back on??? Has anybody actually run with one with any results? This is strictly a street car by the way. Thanks
I would say at the very least add a wooden spacer, 1/2" to insulate the carb from the manifold heat. Not very expensive, if you have the height for it. I have not added the tapered spacer to mine yet, too cheap I guess, but from what I have been told, it will help on HP and TQ. I will when I find the right price.

I run one of these (best price I could find). It's 1/2" phenolic material. I had to open the holes a bit for the 825CFM demon carb I run, but it should work fine on your carb. I bought it specifically to block heat from getting to the carb, and it definitely helps with that. It also made my engine run better, so that I could close the butterflies at idle from where I had with no spacer, which made it run on the idle circuit more and it was easier to tune. Seems to have more torque now too. Probably the best $13 I've spent. http://www.ebay.com/itm/130709764613?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
