Hi all, just wanted to post a followup to my hot start issue. RPXR400 had sent me a heat spacer that he made and was no longer using. He made a nice quality piece. I installed it and it seems to have solved the hot start issue. It has cooled off here in NJ, but I ran the car real good the other...

Very Nice! Sent you a PM. Gary

I will give the Crown duct a try seeing as I am unable to find anything else. I saw that spacer on E-bay and shot the guy a few questions, but he never got back to me. Thank you for the great info Steve....

Ha yep! Been looking for the air cleaner fresh air hose for 2 years! Can't believe there's not a repo for that. Would be great if you could locate that guy's number or e-mail. I will let everyone know how I end up dealing with this issue when/if I find a solution.

The aluminum EGR spacer in in place and I planned on putting the plastic spacer on top of that with the gasket with the SS spacer so I don't think the plastic will melt. The EGR spacer has the spreadbore design so I don't think that the open insulator would be the best option. The heat crossover...

That's exactly what I wanted to do but no one makes an insulated spacer for the 4300 Motorcraft. I just ordered the fuel line insulation which I will add also.

Thank you for the advise, nice car!! Gary

I thought about making one but I was hoping that there was someone out there who would be able able to point me to a shop or a manufacturer than makes them. My car is not concours but I do like to keep things as factory original as possible and have already spent a lot of time getting this back...

Yes, I have the aluminum EGR plate installed but it does not appear to have the heat insulating properties the I need. I wanted to add a phenolic heat spacer to the top of that.

Having a serious hot start issue with my completely stock 1973 351CJ due to excessive carburetor heat. I have concluded that I need a 1" or smaller carburetor heat spacer for the original Motorcraft 4300D. Searched extensively but cannot locate anything that will fit. It seems that the 4300 has...

Thank you again for all the replies, very helpful!

Yes, my air cleaner was missing when I got the car so I had to hunt one down and this is what I got. Plus I kind of like the chrome lid!

Yep that's it! Thanks!

Thank you for your replies! I did some more research and I believe Autoedit is correct. It is the connection for power seats although mine never had any. This would also account for the constant power. Found one source that says a power drivers seat was a very rare option for 71-73 Mustangs. Of...

A Mustang could get power seats? I did not know that!
