    hello,

    I have a question to those of you who run tom langdon's carter-weber setup.
    do I need carb spacers between intake and the adapter?

    Who runs them or not on the 216/235/261?

    thank you!

    I have two sets and one is on a Thickstun and the other a Fenton intake. Neither needed any spacer and both have worked flawlessly for over two years.

    I've got 'em on my '52. No spacers, but I did use his adapters to mount them to my old offy manifold. They work very well.

    Maybe this photo will help you. From this position I installed the manifold and coupled up the fuel line and cable linkage I fashioned and the engine started up after a few cranks. It still runs good today and it has about 12,000 miles on it now.

    ok, so no carb spacers required, that question is solved now :)
    my adapterplates from langdon are different, but what really makes me scratch my head is that your carbs are turned 90°
