With the new gas in the US the carbs really like the insulation spacer.

The spacer I'm talking about is little over 1/2 inch thick and fits below the insulation block.

Your 49 Lincoln project reminded me about the 1946 or 7 Lincoln convertible I helped to move , years ago. It was a V 12 side valve engine in that car . A similar car was in the Betty Davis movie about the 2 sisters .

The 46 was owned by a Kiwi , he shipped it from Melbourne to NZ , we loaded it onto a trailer and drove to the docks at Port Melbourne around 1 am in the early morning .

The car was stored down in a SE suburb and I followed in my ute as he drove it unregistered to Moorabbin , to await the trip to the docks on a trailer. As we drove to Moorabbin, The looks from the motorists at the traffic lights was a look of amazement , an old dusty crimson convertable with a white top and a huge long bonnet
