Although I can't speak from experience on the 58 engine, my 59 E with 413 does have spacers like you describe. The 59 manifold is a very low rise design, and the spacers may have helped driveability as well as performance. 300ly, Don ----- Original Message ----- From: The Barnetts <lexie@xxxx> To: <Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2003 4:46 AM Subject: [Chrysler300] 58 300 carb question > I am restoring a 58 300 convertible. When disassembling the engine there were phenolic spacers between the carbs and the intake manifold. From pictures I have seen of other 58's, I don't see the spacers. Are the supposed to be there? Were they added by a service bulletin, or should they be left off. > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > To send a message to this group, send an email to: > Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm > > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: > Chrysler300-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > > > Your use of Yahoo!
