Title: 68 GT350 Carburetor Spacer Recomendation
Post by: Colorado56 on December 09, 2020, 01:46:02 PM

I have looked for some time to find an original carburetor spacer with the cobra manifold and Holley carb for my GT350 for some time but unfortunate I have come up empty.  Has anyone used a reproduction boss 302 spacer and cut the rear nipple to mimic an original?  Thought this could get me by until I could obtain an original.  Any other ideas or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I was in your dilemma on two 68 GT350s that I restored. I went with the Boss 302 spacer with the nipple cut down to be straight. It works, but sharp judges can tell.

Regards,
Pete Morgan

Much appreciate the offer, but I just purchased one from another forum member.

I would be interested in one if someone has an extra.

Bob,
If it is the correct spacer with the steel pic nipple I definitely want it. Can you send me a picture?
Thank you,
Corey

Corey, no mine is for the 68 . I am not sure if early and late 68 but typically the short steel nipple is for the 69 351 W used on the 69/70 GT350. Sorry someone else reached out and has already paid.

I've put mine in a safe spot. I'll dig deeper tomorrow.

I am trying real hard to find an original carb spacer with the straight PCV nipple as shown in the picture below which I got from thecoralsnake.com.  So far have had no luck.  Does anyone out there have a spare one of these laying around?

Thank you,

Corey
