Help!
I've been at this problem for weeks. The bakelite spacer between the carb and intake manifold seems to have a leak and will not allow the engine to run smooth.
When I start the car, the engine runs well for a few minutes, then starts to idle rough. I can hear see little puffs of smoke coming out from under the spacer. So I took the spacer off, sanded it down on a perfectly flat surface. Same problem. I've changed carburetors, thinking maybe one has a bad mating surface, same issue. I haven't changed gaskets yet, but the gaskets are new.
Is there anything else I can do, to get those parts to mate and be air tight?
