Side exhausts Spacers from pipe to manifold

[Robert R.]

I am replacing side exhausts on my 67 with new stainless set. They came with 2 spacers. I see that the left side on all diagrams uses a spacer but the right side does not. Any suggestions. I purchased these from Corvette Central.(327 2inch exhaust)
thanks

What kind of "spacer" - what do they look like?

Robert,

You should speak a little more softly.......we can hear you!

The only "spacer" was used on the right (passenger) side in place of a heat riser valve, which was not used with L84. This application would be found on the very few sidepipe equipped Corvettes with fuel injection, produced after (about) March 1965.

The correct order of installation for right (pass side) should be: flange, head pipe (sidepipe), stiffener (insert), seal ring, heat riser valve, gasket, manifold. Left side, eliminate valve and gasket........ flange, pipe, stiffener, ring bolt directly to manifold.
