do need to replace carb spacer when i replace carb with the same carb and gasket or no gasket and where?

 

What carb spacer?

 

its black about half in thick do i need to get a new one or can i use same one

 

Where did this spacer come from? Which carb are you using it with?

 

A Carb spacer isn't there for any kind of a seal. It's only there for Performance. The gaskets, yeah, you have to replace those. The spacer it's self? Not unless you're changing from spread bore to square bore.

 

the spacer was already on car under edelbrock 1407 with no gaskets just the spacer got new carb same one

 

how many gaskets and where i am not changing bor am running tokertwo but the spacer is cauliflower shape

 

iam new to all this car was given to me 84 trans am by grandpa but has been sitting along time going threw evrything to make right any advice is greatly appreciated

 

The spacer is one of 3 types:
1) 4 Equally sized holes
2) 4 Holes Siameised (2 Large and 2 Small)
3) Just a square hole.

I'm guessing you have number 2. you need a Gasket between the Intake Manifold and the spacer, and also one inbetween the spacer and the Carb. Those should be two different shapes. I think what you have is the Spreadbore to Squarebore converter. It's acting like a spacer, but I think the main reason it's there is so that the PO could use an Edelbrock without changing the Intake. I have a similar setup on my $900 82 Camaro. If you're running that Edelbrock, Make sure you have the Vacuum Advance Distributor. The original carb was a Computer Controled Q-Jet. Without that, the Computer doesn't know what to think and can't match the Spark to the Ignition timing. The only other option is to put back a Computer Controlled Q-Jet.

Sorry, I tend to ramble. i'm sure someone will correct my mistakes that i've probably made
