Hello...I have had great success thus far with feedback, so I thought I'd try again. I want to install a carb spacer on my 1973 XR-7 convertible's 351C. We've had a problem with hot starts, and from what I've read in other forums, this seems like the best place to start. If it doesn't work, I'm assuming no harm, no foul (assuming a 1/2" composite spacer). One issue I'm having is that I apparently need to know what type of intake manifold is there, and I'm not sure what it is. How would I identify that? The carb is brand new (Edelbrock thunder series - recommended and installed by a local shop). How difficult is it to remove the carb? I'm going to attach a picture, but I was wondering if I'll need to remove the hood. What needs to be disconnected from the carb before it is removed from the manifold, and what are the best practices / order of steps in putting it back together? Of course, if it is something that you would discourage me from attempting myself, that's OK too. I had success changing the starter and the alternator, but those are probably a little more straightforward. Thanks as always for your help.
