Hey Bill!
Welcome to Packardinfo! You are correct, that spacer is to help keep the fuel in the carb from boiling. It is a phenolic material, like a plastic. I have one on my '52, and added another recently from a parts packard at a salvage yard. Not completely sure where you can buy one new, maybe the usual suspects i.e. Kanter, Max Merritt. Should just slide up off of the studs, just be careful of debris that may fall into the intake. -Garrett

G'day Bill,
Like to add my ![]() If someone on site can't come up with a replacement then, as Garrett indicated, "the usual suspects" are your best best. And, I invite you to include your '41 180 in the Packard Owner's Registry here on PackardInfo!

Thanks for the info on spacer block, found one and replaced. Completely cleaned and rebuilt carburetor with kit from Kanter. Runs much better know with the exception of major hesitation on acceleration from stop. Accelerator pump working well lots of gas, idle speed up so must be a problem with rebuild. Hard to tell which parts are correct as kit has pieces for many models, the one I have is a Stromberg AAV-26 40-10D. As carburetor worked poorly when I purchased recently may not have been properly rebuilt by previous owner. The problem appears to been in the accelerator pump or power pump section. Does anyone have know the correct rebuild parts for these?

Bill,
Here are a couple of pix of my bench rebuilding my AAV-26. I kept a notebook as I did it. Do your instructions look the same as the one in the photo? If not, I can fax it to you. There are more instructions on the back. Joe

Joe, thanks for the feed back. I purchased a rebuild kit from Kanter's and followed their rather poor picture of the exploded view, yours is much better. Found the 1/4" spacer and carb is now working great. Now working on the fuel pump which has caused me much more grief (on the vacuum side). Think I have this resolved. Now will have to have the vacuum wiper motor repaired.
Thanks,Bill

Bill, try spraying WD-40 into the wiper motor. Most of the time the diaphragm has just dried out. It worked on mine.

If you have access to a Motor's Manual of the era (mine covers 1935 thru 1949) it has excellent illustrated guidance for rebuilding the Stromberg AA series.
