Base Gasket

(1/3) > >>

Paul:
 I rebuilt my 17057266 quadrajet carb per receipe #3 of Cliffs book. We will be installing it on the  74 Pontiac 455 soon, the intake is a 71 factory 4 barrell. What would be the best base carb to manifold gasket to use?

Cliff Ruggles:
That carburetor will require a later style gasket to fully seal off the front area of the carburetor or "U" channel.

We sell half a dozen gaskets that will work using the later carb on the early intake, and substitute them as required in our rebuild kits....Cliff

Paul:
Cliff,
 Are you talking about the U channel on the carb? Or, on the manifold?

Paul

Cliff Ruggles:
U channel on carb.  It will overhang many early style gaskets....Cliff

Paul:
ok, I didnt know. I will call your shop shortly and get whats needed.
