Not sure how that is better than a FEL-PRO 60273, which is 1/6th the price. However, either one will affect your stock choke linkage setup since they will space the carb up more. Agreed Sniper, seemed quite expensive. The FEL PRO you listed seems to be only the base gasket though, not a spacer. In 71 the TQ base gasket was thin. In 78 it was about 1/4" thick same as that spacer, that's the Felpro 60273 Ok gotcha. Forgot to reply about the choke linkage comment. So will the spacer not work with it then?

Thanks for the link vdriver.
Chris, I popped the cap right after it wouldn't start hot, for any pressure, and there didn't seem to be any. adding vent lines seems like a lot of work than I want to tackle right now on the car. I am going to start with a phenolic spacer once I figure out which carb/ intake set up I have at what spacer I need. I hear that, no reason to fix a problem you easily ruled out. I'm with you on the spacer at this point, as a solution to fuel bowl boil (as was pointed out early on).
