You need to adjust the throttle cable. Installing the spacer changes the angle of the bracket.

With the stock style manifold, MY TBI engine responded GREAT to a 1" open center TBI spacer.

The thrott;e blades may be hanging up on something. I would just double check the install.


As far as spacers working, I changed over from the 1/2 to a 1 inch spacer today. I also installed an open element air cleaner. I had to use my turbo city salad bowl base to get it to mount clean. It really woke up my combination even more.
