handy Carter AFB air cleaner gasket

[heyjavelin]

Some of the carb kits don't have the air cleaner gasket with them. For a '67-'69 Carter AFB go pickup a gasket for late 80s-early 90s Iron Duke 2.5 L Pontiac throttle body to air cleaner gasket.
Fel-Pro part # is 60706. It's a near perfect fit for the old original AFBs.

I thought that most 4 BBL came in one basic generic size. How the air cleaner gasket off of a Holley or Rochester stait bore??? I once took a the gasket that was on a holley and stuck on the Carter AFB. Fit real nice too and still in use today.

A modern Edelbrock/Weber Performer (AFB) is larger than the original OE 'small' AFBs '69 and back and will not fit. So no.......there isn't any generic 4bl. size. Some 4 bl. air cleaners will swap and some won't.

Also I forgot to mention the Fel-Pro gasket number I quote is not a cheap paper gasket. It's a nice quality gasket that should last many years. Normally if carb. kits come with an air cleaner gasket it's the thin paper type. This is a much better gasket material.

Of course if you have something that works, by all means use it.

My mistake, when you turn 45 all the stuff leaks out. Thanks for the info
