carb gasket?? real quick

[plate]

Do i need the gasket with the center section (center section rotted away but you can still see where it was) if i am using the manifold pictured???

or can i just use the square cut gasket????

need to know asap, thanks

i've never had a problem using a square gasket, it'll work fine.

I have found that my Carter/Edelbrock likes the split gasket better (your original broken one). Or maybe it is just me! Seems easier to set the idle mixture when you can control each side independently. But in reality it is a very small gap that you are talking about...

It certainly won't hurt anything!

Good Luck!!!

Thanks,

I ended up finding an auto shop that had the two section one in stock so that is the one i went with.
