Holley sells an aluminum plate and spacer that is probably better than thean insulated spacer by itself, but still probably not as good as a turkey pan.

Thanks for the info. I may have to do the turkey pan. Do you need to remove the carb to istall it? I remember the PO telling me he had a hot starting problem as well, but said it was the coil getting too hot & due to the fact that is was mounted to the motor. He relocated to the fender wall.

Thanks again!
