I am replacing my carb to intake gaskets. When I ordered the ones I needed I got three of them. One is thin stainless steel, one is about 3/8" thick and has an open center and the last one is about 1/8" thick and looks just like the stainless steel one. What is the proper order they are suposed to go on? I can't find a reference anywhere????
If you have a '67, it looks like the stainless goes against the carb, with the gasket between the stainless and the manifold. Otherwise, it's gasket only.
Thanks PMI. I have no clue what that 3rd gasket is for (the 3/8" thick open center one)? According to the diagram I only need the stainless and the mainfold to carb gaskets.
Another question about this issue. I installed only the two gaskets and then had a leak on the driver's side. I torqued the carb bolts to the correct spec. Should I use RTV on the gaskets?
Try again, make sure the manifold mating surface and the carburetor mating surface are free of any previous gasket residue. Sometimes a scraper or even fine sandpaper are necessary. If the surfaces are clean, and all items are correct (manifold, gaskets, carburetor); everything will seal. If this is a 1967, both the carburetor and manifold must be 1967 (or the factory service 1967) to seal with the original gaskets.

It sounds like you have three different gaskets. I had a problem with my carb and the guy who built my motor gave me one that sounds like the 3/8" one you mention. I've gotten other gaskets for the same aplication that are different. The thicker one may be for a certain year stock gasket but the racers use them because it is stock and you get better performance by raising the carb. I would recomend you use one gasket, the thick one. I'm a rookie so if I'm wrong someone jump in. Pete
