Thanks Ted.. sent my address etc.. Include a note for the cost of envelope & mailing & I'll refund it.. I wonder how many people have installed a gasket & carb on a "B" intake, which didn't seal properly & then blamed the problems on the carb?

Paul. If you’ll email me a snail mail mailing address, I’ll send you some of the smaller bore 1957 4V intake carburetor flange gaskets. My email address is located under contact info on my website. http://www.eatonbalancing.com/

go to lordco, or any parts store in surrey or lancelet,buy a sheet of thicker gasket material.lik pre. post lay it on manifold and tap the big holes to cut them then, a common hole puncher for the stud holes.. i found with a newer holley no gaskets that come with overhaul kit are correct. you want NO
VACUME LEAKS. so i have no issues with the home made gasket.

Thanks Charlie & Jim. The #55 gasket does have 1-3/4" holes & they barely cover, maybe by 1/16th" Not going with that.. I'll check into getting a Holley 390 cfm gasket. Also, I considered a 1" phenolic spacer, however using a stock air cleaner on a 57 car it's very doubtfull it will clear the hood. Unfortunately, O'Reillys doesn't operate in western Canada & Speedway is a U.S.A. order. I'll have to check elsewhere. [/quote]Clears fine on my 57, stock air cleaner.[quote]

Speedway Motors sell 1" 390 carb spacers. They're the only place I've found them. [/quote] At the time I tried to order one they were out of stock and I was told the supplier had machine problems and they didn't know when they would get them again, they may have them now [quote]

GOOGLE C2AZ 9447-E. They are still available. You shouldn't need much over a 1/4" phenolic spacer (IMO).

Why not make your own gasket from gasket stock? Most parts stores sell gasket material in sheets. Whenever I need something that is odd size or shape, I use that, and trim with a small scissor, or knife. Make a simple imprint of base by rubbing over the sheet material with hand or ball peen hammer, and cut out following the lines. Joe-JDC
