I need to rebuild the carburetor on my 77 CJ5 and when I took the Carb off the engine the plastic spacer was in two pieces like a top and a bottom is this the way it's supposed to be or is this broke ???
 
I've never seen one "break" like that....but I have seen them stacked...whether it was factory or not I couldn't tell you.

Pictures?
 
got a pic of it?
 
On mine theres the thin gasket on the manafold, then the heat isolator (plastic piece) then a hard rubber section that fits inside the uprights on the isolator then the carb.

If my assumptions are correct thats what you're talking about... :cool: and its normal. But just in case, post a picture.

:chug:

Well after looking it closer this is the way it was made

Is there any benefit to changing this to a metal spacer ??
 
Just make sure you put a little RTV between the layers to prevent vacuum leaks.
