[Tigers] Idle problem

                Glad you have it sorted for now.

I would check the flatness of the spacer, make sure it does not rock on a flat surface, and look for any possible cracks.

Make sure there is no interference somewhere between the carb and the spacer and that the throttle plates can open and close correctly on the spacer.

It's definitely a vacuum leak.  I plugged up all of the ports on the carb and the port on the intake manifold that goes to the break booster and nothing changed.  So I pulled off the carb and the spacer that goes between the carb and the manifold and looked it over really good and didn't see anything obvious.  I reinstalled the carb without the spacer and it runs fine now.  I'm waiting for it to cool down and I'll put the spacer back in and see what happens.  

 

Of course, while I had it idling I noticed that the temperature gauge on the dash was getting over 225.  I'm not sure how accurate that is and it never boiled over.  I'll get out my laser temp gun and poke around a little bit.  

 

Thanks for everybody's guidance.
