DO CARB SPACERS REALLY WORK? 4-HOLE VS OPEN (360 MAGNUM-HP & AF-FULL DYNO RESULTS)

[@coreymulanix9690]

These are the videos I like! Head to head comparisons on dirt cheap parts, something anyone could change in a couple minutes.

[@b.c4066]

Trouble is each engine is different, and these vids can help get in the ballpark, but to maximize YOUR COMBO, you'd have to test it, and without back to back drag strip runs or a chassis Dyno you can easily cost yourself power. What I'm saying is you can't get their results and have it be optimized unless you do the same tuning/testing. Go out and buy a carb spacer thinking it's going to add 10 hp, and in your combo it could cost you 14 hp until you optimize your engines air fuel ratio, timing, etc. And keep in mind these are wot tests with very low coolant temps that are precisely controlled. In your car at operating temp with full exhaust, stock stall converter etc it will most likely behave very different due to the way the engine is loaded on the Dyno vs your car/truck. So don't rush out and buy a four hole spacer thinking you'll gain power and acceleration. The difference between a good engine and a GREAT ENGINE.. is this kind of testing, gathering data, and optimizing the car.

From personal experience, I went from an RPM intake to a Victor Jr on a 400 HP 383. 9.8:1 compression, 236/242 hyd roller, Victor heads. The loss of low end torque was noticeable. On a suggestion, I tried a 1 inch 4 hole spacer to get some low end torque back. It did help, but should have left the RPM intake for what I was doing. The four hole spacer helped with carb signal.

Thank You, Richard for the Magnum Series!.
Too bad the M1 dual-plane intake had such a limited production run.
They were around $300 each back in 2006.
The water heated intake makes for good driving in cold weather- some vehicles are more fun when the snow starts flying.
When these M1 dual -planes sells used for 2X what they cost new here is definitely interest.
A Edelbrock Performer or Performer RPM for Magnum would be easy-borrow from the Magnum AirGap the intake to head section to bolt to the Magnum heads.
The 5.9 Magnum had a production run of almost 20 years, millions made, going to scrap.
All for the want of a bolt-on Performer, Action Plus, or Contender intake.
Glad to see the Magnum get some attention.

My thought exactly.

[@adamtrombino106]

4 hole beats an open design, WITH THAT PARTICULAR carb and intake. I would like to see the results when using an AFB or AVS in the 750cfm range. My 30 over 9.0 to 1 360 with a MP 450/455 cam and now Edelbrock spread bore dual plane instead of an M1, consistently made 8 hp and 14 lb ft more with an open spacer, than just sitting on the manifold. It made an average of 6 more hp with the 4 hole but only 5 lb ft, (that had to be mildly machined to accept the secondaries), over just the carb on manifold. Timing was using an MSD set at 34* at 2800, no vac adv. I will say this. The AFB did need some jetting and rod tuning because out of the box, it was lean down low, but way rich WOT. The AVS was better at low and mid range, but still rich WOT. Anyways enjoy your vids!!

[@zandemen]

What this test shows me, which I suspected from the start, is that if you change your intake manifold, spacers or otherwise adjust the signal to your carburetor, you have to tune your carburetor.
After the swap to open spacer, tune your carb to work properly with that setup and run the test again.
Then I'll say you changed the carb settings and that caused the difference, lol.

[@zandemen]

BTW I'm about to flash up a fresh rebuilt 383 and tuned my edelbrock a little rich on the single plane intake, so your video is making me think that was a good choice in calibration of the jets and rods.

[@larryhutchens7593]

Open spacer? Carb to open spacer then open spacer to 4 hole (4 hole to open then back to 4 hole). Turbulence possibly? I always thought that the open spacers worked best with single plane intakes but I could be wrong. Note the torque curve: Max torque is exactly where you need it in a pick-em-up or heavy van that might be pulling a load. Possible that the MoPar engineers designed it that way for a reason? I had a 98 Ram 1500, 5.2, 5 speed, 3.23 gears and it would pull an all steel car hauler with a Duster on it just fine in 4th gear. Cruise at 65 all day with cruise set.

[@cfmechanic]

I use a spacer under my sniper 2 reasons. 1 to help keep sniper throttle body cooler, 2 to increase plenum length, with the holley sniper it needs to be 4 hole it whistles with open spacer

[@bdugle1]

Really good info here! I’m wondering if there’s a fuel distribution issue with that M1 manifold. Individual EGTs or 8 O2 sensors might show the engine likes an overall rich mixture because of a few lean cylinders. Just a guess… Bottom line is dual plane manifolds work best for every day street use. Don’t mess it up with an open spacer unless you’ve got a whole different usage in mind. Thanks again Richard!

[@ldnwholesale8552]

The 4 hole is clearly better for a dual plane intake. For a mild street engine. Though in the past I have seen the dividing wall milled down 1/2" reputedly for improvement ay higher rpm. This on both factory and pro built engines. Holdens and Clevos
Also those spacers are 1",, not half inch
I have dabbled with spacers on open plenum on Chevs. Base Victor Jnr with modded fueliie heads the 1" spacer helped and the 2" was better
Ditto on a Bowtie version on Dart 2 heads and again on a 2925 on Edelbrock Victor 23 deg heads.
Edelbrock ofcourse make these intakes short enough to go under most bonnets.
In my case the carb [ with 3" airfilter] was living inside the reverse bonnet scoop

[@johnshoffit2541]

I love the intro music

[@Bige4u]

Just out of curiousity, it would have been nice to see what the AF ratio was with carb to intake before the 4hole and open hole spacer was added.... either way, i see there will be a slight leaner mixture because of the simulated added intake plenum that the spacer provides, allowing more air without a change in fuel delivery.

Just a couple days ago I posted a vid about putting a four hole phenolic spacer on my friends 76 D100 318 with the stock cam advanced 4 degrees, an Edelbrock SP2P low RPM torque intake for heavy vehicles and a Qjet. The four hole spacer severely outperformed the open 1/4 inch gasket we had before hand. Without the four hole it would only leave about a foot of rubber and slowly accelerate away but with the 4 hole installed it leaves several feet of rubber and accelerates much more aggressively.

@@jrdmotorsports9718 They also split the carb in half only letting each individual cylinder see half the CFM it would see.This can be good or bad depending on the specific application. I tried a 4 hole spacer on my solid lift 235 HP 273 thinking I'd gain some much needed torque to get through the low RPM bog of my 2.76 gears and it did help a little bit down low, but it hurt so bad up top that I swapped back to open after one drive. Funny how some engines completely defy your expectations.

In your application, feeling it lose top end says it needs plenum volume, hence why the open works. Putting a 4 hole on that will help bottom end without sacrificing top end. The reason why you lost top end with just a 4 hole, is due to the plenum volume being too small. All they do is help tune a manifold.

another interesting test idea...compare carbs with metal intakes, Carb +Space+Metal intake, Carb and Plastic intake.
