carburetor gasket

Post by TADTOOMUCH »

I am replacing the gasket between my carter AFB carbs and the manifold on my Chrysler M360 engines. The carb kit came with a four hole gasket for each throttle plate but it binds up my throttle plates and they won't open. It also came with a square opening gasket but the intake has four holes for each throttle plate in it. Which gasket is correct? Can anyone help me?

Check out page 19 of 59. It shows that the square gasket can be used. Also, checking with my local parts man, his books show a square bore gasket being use as well. Hope this works for you. Do you also have a angled spacer plate that you're using on this set-up?
