BG CARBURETOR SPACERS

BG Fuel Systems, a Barry Grant Inc. company, offers a large assortment of anodized aluminum billet open and 4-hole carburetor spacers for standard square flange (4150-style) and large square flange (4500-style) carburetors. The spacers are a valuable tuning tool since they modify the relationship of the intake manifold and carburetor. Open spacers increase the intake plenum area, aiding in developing power in mid- to upper-rpm ranges. A 4-hole spacer can have a positive effect on torque and power in the low- to mid-rpm ranges. Billet spacers are available in 10 models in standard or lightweight versions in 1/2" or 1" thickness. These aluminum spacers are perfect for street vehicles as well as for drag racing, oval track and road racing engines. For complete information contact: BG Fuel Systems, Dept. DRO, 1450 McDonald Road, Dahlonega, GA 30533 Phone 706-864-8544, or send $5.00 for the latest Barry Grant Inc catalog. Website is www.barrygrant.com.
