carb spacer
i have a eddy perfomer intake and a eddy 1406 carb.i've been having trouble with warm starts. i have to hold the gas pedel to the floor before it starts.i also had this issue with a carter afb as well.
so i'm thinking about putting in a spacer in between the two,trying to reduce the heat transfer.witch spacer do i use?
all 2 in the pic's fit .which one? 
any help would be appreaciated.

My Edelbrock hated the heat and would not start when warm. The carb spacer, cheap $25 one from the parts store, did the trick. Remember to spray down the spacer on all sides with starter fluid to see if you're idle speed picks up.
Mine also grew some balls after the spacer was installed.

go to Edelbrock's website, they have instructions for that carb.....it tells you how to disassemble, adjust, set the float heights, etc.

high float level will cause all kinds of trouble,including what you describe.
