Edelbrock 9265 Heat Insulator Gasket 4150 Square-Bore Open Plenum 0.320" Thick

The Edelbrock 9265 Heat Insulator Gasket is engineered to prevent fuel percolation in Edelbrock Performer Series carburetors operating in extreme under-hood temperature conditions. This 0.320-inch thick gasket features an open center design specifically for use with open plenum manifolds such as Torker and Victor style intakes, ensuring proper sealing between the carburetor and manifold.

Key Features:

• Open center design compatible with open plenum Torker and Victor style manifolds
• 0.320-inch thickness provides thermal barrier to reduce heat soak
• Rigid construction allows use as a replacement for square-bore adapter plate #2732
• Designed for 4150-style square-bore carburetors
• Helps prevent fuel percolation caused by excessive heat transfer

Installation Notes:

• Check air cleaner-to-hood clearance before installation to ensure the additional 0.320-inch height will not cause interference
• Requires longer carburetor studs (short studs must be replaced)
• Install gasket directly against manifold surface
• Can replace Edelbrock square-bore adapter #2732 if needed due to rigid construction

This heat insulator gasket is an essential upgrade for vehicles experiencing fuel boiling issues or hard starting when hot, providing a thermal break between the intake manifold and carburetor to maintain cooler fuel temperatures.
