    you'll need a dremel and drill and a blank phenolic plate... I'm not sure if it will splinter... or if the shavings are dangerous to breathe in or not.

    Thing is our carb already has a spacer... but it also has a coolant hole that feeds coolant thru the base of the carb... so you might want to try disabling the coolant flow to the carb from both ends.

    I think the coolant idea thru that plate is to keep the carb from icing. Most of the older carbed hondas I have had carb iced at some point. Usually in the mid 30's on a damp morning like on your way to work.errrr dont miss those days. I had alot of 79,80 Accords.

    I haven't iced my carb once since I've had my accord. I got it in 2000 too.
