I am putting an O-320 in my RV-6A, but have an O-360 cowl. I understand this cowl is a little taller to accommodate the taller Fuel Injection body. Does anyone know the standard height of the Fuel Injection throttle body? I am trying to order materials to make a spacer in advance of getting all this mounted.
I was originally thinking of making the spacer (between carb and air box) with 2024 stock, but have been thinking about some Micarta (Phenolic) stock that I have. This is rated to 250* continuous, which would seem to work. I can't imagine the sump getting much hotter than 250 for an extended period. I would use alum spacers to insure that I have torque on the attachment nuts. I would welcome thoughts here as well.
Thanks,
Larry
