But I dont use it for performance as I use a phenolic spacer to help fight eng heat in the carb and its a big help. Since mine is a street car I really need it.

I think the shorter one is an issue myself and run the 2 in. plus a half in. 4 hole wooden spacer to help with heat and make it taller to lengthen the runners and improve the signal. 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....
