I was tearing down my carburetor on my 80 model SA I cleaned it and went to put the carb back on and noticed the bottom of my vacuum spacer plate was not flat I thought what was on there was a stuck on gasket or something. I scraped half of it flat with a razor blade before realizing it was molded that way.

Did I just screw myself?

The car had a massive vacuum leak before I even started working on the car and was trying to tie up all loose ends preventing it from idling once at operating temperature

This looks like now I'll have an even bigger vacuum leak

Is it possible to just run a bead of liquid gasket or high temp silicone between the two? I'm kicking myself for making such a novice mistake. it came off so easily because its brittle that I thought it couldn't possibly be made that way

 

You can try some spray on gasket sealer or maybe black silicone. Its all one piece with glued on surfaces top and bottom.

 

going to see if I can make it up with some RTV gasket maker thanks for the input 👍🏻
