One that is the same height and bolt pattern as the throttle stop I have a Wilson 1.5 or 2.0 reversion spacer on my current 505 C.I. low deck E85 motor with a Biondo brand C.O.2 throttle controller hook up to the 4500 E85 carb. mounted on my 400-3 intake operated by a Biondo 400 box off of time and it shifts the shifter by RPM

How thick is the t-stop. I run a Moroso 1/2" wooden 4-hole spacer under my dommy even though I have external linkage and feel it smooths things out under the "hollow" main body`s the dommys have. A wilson type of tapered has it`s bennies but from what most say, they need a bit more jet but who knows there as I've never used one...........I always prefer wood over plastic(melt/warp)or alum...............

If you go to an open spacer and your carb is internal linkage, make sure you use a shear plate of some kind. I am looking for a spacer now to replace a 1" NOS plate and my carb has all kinds of linkage that looks like it could fall into the motor that I would like to contain. 2" venturis into a open rectangular plenum. Suggestions? Shear plate or one like a super sucker? Does that name imply the buyer?

Google tapered carb spacer.
There are literally dozens of them.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

My 434 small block made 13 more hp with a 1" Super Sucker than no spacer on the Indy intake. It also helped balance the afr's from bank to bank. The guy that owns the engine shop that dynoed my engine says he sells a bunch of Super Suckers after guys see the difference on the dyno. Yeah I can see that. We typically see 10 to 15 hp improvement from a 1" taper type spacer on a 600+ hp bracket type motor. Pretty cheap hp compared to some other tricks that guys pay big bucks for. TrickFlow has some moderately priced tape spacers that work. Wilson stuff is expensive but lightweight. Summit carries some really cheap stuff that probably works just as well but doesn't last as long.
