My 1959 experienced some heat soak or vapor lock. Anyone use a spacer and where did you get one for a 4 barrel ROCHESTER carb.

There was a great technical article on this in last month (July edition) in the Self Starter.  Also, I have seen these recently on eBay.

I believe you are looking for this part. The self starter article does talk about this, but mostly covers the plate for the Carter carburetor

USA Parts Supply sells them brand new....I rarely buy from them, but that is one item I did buy for my 58.  Am happy with it.

Did you need a kit to extend the mounting holes?

Many have mounting kits?
