Ok i was getting a vacumme leak from the carb spacer...gaskets were hard as briks, and not flat. I have a big role of carb gasket paper and was going to cut myown. problem is i didnt get the layout of the vacumme holes, and they arnt on the carb spacer (well not all of them). so all the gaskets are now disenigrated (wow gasket remover is evil stuff!), and i have no template.

If anybody could scan the carb gaskets and keep them 1:1 and send the picture to me at altf4@expertsdaily.com

thanks!

I don't get it. Did you remove the factory gaskets that are attached to the spacer, or just the normal sets of gaskets?

I think hes saying the ones that attach to the spacer. I know that they are available in the carb rebuild kit. 30 bucks at auto zone

if that's the case, double joo tee eff mate, doesn't the spacer match the holes in those gaskets? why can't he use the spacer as the template?

Just take some tracing paper mark the holes, lay it on the gasket make indentions onto the gasket then punch them out with a very small paper punch. You should have just left the original gaskets on the spacer and laid the new ones over them. Just make sure the spacer is cleaned up good. and blow it out good.

problem is there are channels in the spacer...not individual holes, but the gasket has holes.


Man if i would have known these gaskets were attached, and that they cost $30 i would have just flat block sanded the gaskets down to be flat.

Oh so you did remove the gaskets that are factory attached? big mistake. But you know that by now.
