I got my ebay purchase in the mail today and this is the exact spacer required.

Its a phenolic or backlite material that typical carb spacers are made of. In fact - normally you sandwich a thin gasket above and below these types of spacers, add the heat shields to this and my now too long carb/intake studs are the perfect size!

These are the markings on the the box

Carburetor Part
GM Delco

Gr. No. 8.726 1 # 3692799

Heat Insulator

I don't have time to surf the internet or make calls today but I would hope with this information and all of your help that we can find an aftermarket source for these spacers.

Right now I only need 1 more!

    If anyone buys one, see if you can get the application. So we can cross reference it.

    It would still be nice to xref and get some additional sources and numbers.

    This thread is a couple of years old...I bumped it up with a reply.

    I still think this type of spacer is correct, I cannot think the factory stapled gaskets together.

    I understand this may in fact work - but I would think you would have all kinds of problems with vacuum leaks if you put any kind of miles on the car.

    Obviously you don't read your posts thru to the end, if you had you would have seen my post on 11/26 with readily available carb spacer gaskets. Like Frank you tend to do it your way.

    Sorry - I did miss that part of your post - thanks for providing the additional information.

    As I've said I don't want to sandwich gaskets together for one and the installation as you referred to wouldn't account for the length of the studs on the intake.

    The type of spacer I am refering to is completely different type of mounting setup than you outlined - and fits with the length of studs in the intake manifold already.

    The phenolic or bakelite spacers also help in heat dissapation protection much more than a gasket would do.

    BTW - I don't understand your need to personally berate me, you don't even know me and those kind of snide comments do not add to the discussion. If you have a problem with me, contact me offline - we'll discuss the problem like adults.

    Wow; getting to be like some other forums I've been on. No matter, I think the spacer is probably correct and the stacks were a make do fix when the bakelite spacers broke.



    I still have to sign on every time I come back, for some reason remember me isn't working and if I open an e-mail message to the forum I have to sign back in, what a pain. I'm sure this isn't what the recent upgrade was supposed to do. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Now I'm not getting kicked out and the forum seems to remember me. Crazy things happening in the cyber space.

    Dan maybe you should look at the # I told you about as it only requires 1 above heat shield and 1 below no more no less. I have these on my car .no problem with length of stud. You were the one asking where to find certain items. BTW, even I get a little cranky at times,last post must have been that.
