carburetor base for 1982 f150, 5.0
Hello, can anyone tell where to get the metal base for my carburetor. I'm trying to keep my equipment as original as possible. I have a 1982 f150 with the 5.0. The carburetor is a 2 barrel and it has an automatic transmission. I'm getting a very loud air sound because I was told the metal base that goes between the carburetor and the intake is not the correct one. I was also told that the part number would start with E0, E1, or E2.
Thanks
Thanks

With that said,
First off, post a few pics of the spacer in question. Secondly, who? told You that it's not the correct spacer plate? and what is their qualification to diagnose it ?
Ask 3 Doctors whats wrong and You'll get three different diagnosis'.
The spacer could be fine but the gaskets separating it could be failing. A spacer does not fail out of the blue unless there has been excessive engine overheating causing a fracture due to heat. Unless that spacer was exposed to temps above 300 degrees, I highly doubt that it suffered a fracture or warpage. Part numbers are advantageous but, if your chasing ghosts, the end result is the same.....pure void.

Humor Me if You will...Let Me start by saying that I may come across as brash. I don't believe in the Cyber Political Correctness that many subscribe to. I believe in passing on info that can actually help people, in reality.
