I was considering getting a carb spacer, but would that require modification of my mechanical throttle linkage?

If the spacer solves the problem, then I wouldn't have to install the mechanical fan. I spent considerable time installing the electric fan and all that effort would have been wasted. Shucks. Any idea where I could buy a carb spacer for a Rochester B?
