spacer plate air leak

[dtwood456]

I have a problem with my carb set up. I have an Ford alluminum intake part number RF-E4ZE-9425-GA and a holley 650 carb. I had to use a spacer plate to make room for the choke on the carb. The problem I have is that on that intake, there is a slot on the intake manifold right at the edge of the spacer plate. The spacer plate gasket covers it, but the spacer plate does not. I am getting a air leak at that point. Anybody have any idea which spacer plate I need to use??? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

David

You need the egr spacer plate for an 84-85 Mustang 5.0-you can leave the valve bolted to the plate or fab up a metal cover to bolt on where the valve was.
