hRe: Rochester Stainless heat shield Stainless steel is one of the best thermal barriers, look underneath most cars and there are stainless shields protecting various areas from exhaust heat. This theory also translates to intake to carb heat protection, with todays ethanol additives it takes less heat to boil gasoline. A stainless gasket is a good start. Holley sells one specifically for the q-jet. Part number: 108-20. I see them on ebay, here is the summit racing link. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hly-108-20
