PMO 38mm Carburetor Insulator Set, Phenolic — Porsche 911 (PM-O924-0)
Short answer: PMO PM-O924-0 is a 38mm phenolic composite carburetor insulator set that mounts between the cylinder heads and the intake manifolds, listed for the Porsche 911 (1974–1983, CIS-pattern heads). It cuts the heat that reaches the fuel, so the mixture stays steadier and vapor lock and hot-start trouble are less likely. Match the 38mm size to your head ports and manifold flanges before ordering.

Why It Matters
Heat soak is what turns a crisp-running carbureted 911 into a hard hot-starter. Phenolic composite conducts very little heat and holds its shape in the engine bay, so the insulator keeps manifold heat away from the fuel in the carburetor.
It is a genuine PMO part, from the maker of the carburetors, and matches the original mounting for the listed application.
Installation Notes
- Mounts between the cylinder head and the intake manifold.
- Check that the 38mm size matches your head ports and manifold flanges before ordering.
