Started the teradown for my cam swap last nigjt and found my carb isolater was melted and warped.

The intake looks ok. The carb may have a little warp to it...not sure yet.

Not too happy about this!!!

I hope this is the ony problem I find.

I'd contact them and see if they would warranty it? Nothing to loose by asking?

Ya I never thought of that. Is the "hole"in the spacer wider than the intake? If so it wouldn't be a concern?   I have one also, I'll have to keep an eye on it.

I would grind the edge smooth & wrap it with metal tape heal wont be an issue as the whole itake & carb act as a heat sink to draw heat away , I know they seriously drop temp at the carb

  AND, the melting point of aluminum is 1221'F and you'd surely know Jas, if that old pink Cuda got THAT hot! I'd take a hammer to it, lightly, and straighten the flange, re-gasket it and slap 'er back on. But then, that's just my     
PS- use the bench as a straight edge or come borrow mine.
