Does anyone recognize this carb spacer?  Plastic with 5/8 nipple.  Thickness 1/2 like 289.
Maybe after market part?

Thank you for your input.

Yes, I do. They were used among many Ford engines in the 1970s. I had one such spacer on a 1972 Lincoln 460 engine. Fairly common...yet hard to find in good, not cracked condition.
Past owned Shelby's:
1968 GT-350--Gold
1970 GT-500--#3129--Grabber Orange.
Current lifelong projects:
1969 Mustang Fastback/FOX chassis, 5 speed, 4 wheel discs, with a modern Can-Am 494 (Boss 429), Kaase heads, intake with a 1425 cfm 'B' Autolite Inline carb, ala Trans-Am style
1968/70 Olds 442 W-30

Thanks for that information.  The underside has pilot holes to be drilled out to fit a smaller bolt pattern, which seems unusual.
