Phenolic 4V Carburetor Spacer
« on: November 26, 2022, 05:25:47 PM »
Have had this spacer rattling around for a few years now. Thought it was Ford, now not sure, after viewing the GT-350 threads. Has non barbed, straight tube, and is 3/8 inches thick. About 1-5/8" venturi holes. Cutout is different than any other ones that I can find.
Anyone have any indication of application?

The ones I've seen have FoMoCo script molded in and a bubble flare on the end of the PCV hose pipe.

Looks like a 67 390GT spacer with an improved vacuum nipple.

As far as service (NOS) parts that one was serviced under the C3AZ-9A589-C part number as shown below. It also has/had the Ford oval as Charles mentioned. Its possible IMHO that Ford used the new and improved, later, spacer as a replacement for the earlier version once the new ones came out. Just makes sense but can lead to confusion

Picture is from an earlier posting and discussion of the early and late versions for 68 carb spacers
