When I pulled my carburetor off to check the float level I realized that the carb to intake gasket I have is one that covers the recessed areas on the front bottom of the carburetor base. I also noticed in my leftover parts that I have a couple of Quadrajet gaskets that are cut out to uncover this area.
I think the larger coverage gasket was one I got with a rebuild kit I bought from you several years ago, and the cutout gasket may have been the original from my truck, but I'm not sure. Which gasket should I be using with a 17080213, or does it matter?
I attached a picture (not of my carburetor) where the gasket with a cutout is on the left on the carburetor base, and the larger coverage gasket is shown off to the right.
Thanks,
Bruce
