I am getting ready to install my original Holley 6193 carb on the motor (383), and was wondering if there was a carb spacer or special gasket that was used.

When I got the car it had an aftermarket 750 Holley installed, and a stack of gaskets.

I wanted to make sure I get the bubble height correct.

Pics would be great if anybody has some.

Thanks

Been awhile with 383 Shaker cars , I know you need the carb spacer, IIRC it's 3/4" thick


here's some pics of a 383 set up and the parts needed, some of the pics are from Terry (Mccannix) IIRC, I'm sure he'll have some more pics/info if he sees this thread

Here's a few more....make sure you have a 383 shaker base as they are different than the 340/440 4bbl base, IIRC the 340/440 neck is 1 1/2" tall and the 383 is 2" deep

I'm not 100% sure on the carb gasket but you may be correct at 3/4".

Thanks for the pics guys. I do have the correct 383 base, but I am also missing the support rod you guys showed.

I will post a pic of the spacer that was under the carb when I bought the car.

Does anybody have some good pics of the wiring of the idle solenoid and the relay on the distributor?

Thanks,

The best I can do is some 1970 factory lit, take it with a grain of salt as engineering photos and production may change

This is what was on my car when I got it. I am not sure if this is the OEM spacer or not. I have never seen an original 4 BBL shaker spacer.

Does this look like an OEM piece?

On close inspection it does look bonded together really well.

The proverbial "unicorn" of Shaker parts!!!! I'd like to see/have a pic for my files as well, last one I laid my eyes on was on Steven Seigel's 1971 GY3 383 Shaker Cuda convertible...where's the plethora of Shaker gurus when you need them smile

Technically not a shaker part but a carb/intake part.
As stated above Holley HLY-108-18 should be the gasket you need.

Terry, wouldn't there be 2 gaskets required?, one under the carb, and one under the spacer?..same gasket?, or alternate PN?

That's what I was thinking. I have not seen any pics of an original spacer. Possible unicorn...?

I cant comment because I have never had the opportunity to look close at an original 383 shaker carb, etc with the system removed
