I can't seem to locate any for sale from the parts houses like Jegs, Summit, Speedway, etc. A link, or information would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to finish up a couple of intakes for my '55 Thunderbird. Thanks, Joe-JDC
Thanks for the links, everyone, I bought 4 of the 1/2" spacer kits from ebay site. I just could not seem to pull up the correct wording to get the proper response. Everything I entered as Holley 1162-2, etc, just came back as rebuild kits or re-manufactured carbs. Spacers did not get me there, either. So, Holley teapot spacer DID. Thanks again. Joe-JDC

I only know of adapters. Using the adapters as a reference, it looks like you can drill the mounting holes in a normal square bore spacer. If the hole spacing and diameters are ok, then that should be a good alternative. Oh, there are some on eBay. Look for Holley teapot spacer.

The spacing is totally different, and different size from even the smallest 4160 style Holley carburetors. I can make them from acrylic, but would prefer phenolic. Joe-JDC

Mainline's suggestion is a good one. These are not cheap, but the one I saw was good quality... Click the link below. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fits-Small-WCFB-Carter-Phenolic-Carb-Insulator-Spacer-Holley-Teapot-Riser-Kit-/231992446155?hash=item3603d3cccb:m:mWDZwlq-ZfI8xv19S7_fbMg&vxp=mtrHope this helps.

Joe. I’ve used this guy on Ebay for custom built spacers. He does both aluminum and phenolic and I have received a discount when ordering several at a time. The next time you are by the shop, remind me to show you some of the custom WCFB/Teapot spacers this guy has made. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Small-WCFB-Carter-Aluminum-Carburetor-Spacer-Holley-Teapot-Intake-Riser-1-kit-/231851314579?hash=item35fb6a4d93:g:YioAAOSw~OdVXfWr&vxp=mtr

I bought a set of the phenolic spacers for the WCFB for my dual quad set up. Have them installed. Will see how they work. Should keep the carbs a little cooler than the stock aluminum ones.

Used Dashmans for some phenolic spacers for a 3x2 Holley 94 set up. They worked perfectly and pretty reasonable priced if I remember correctly.
