Carb bowl gasket

[AlanD]

Would someone measure the gasket going between the bowl and the body on the Holley and Kingston carburetors?

Thank you!

Which Holley? Which Kingston?

Get out the calipers and measure it, then get a good gasket cutter. EEZY PEEZY! ws

Steve, I didn't know there were different versions used on the Model T. Synder's shows a couple of different gaskets so I was hoping one would be the size I need, which is ID = 2.625, OD = 2.725, thickness = .025
I'll just ask them to measure the ones they sell.

I did cut my own gasket and it will work, but it could be better - ya know.

Yep, the Holley G and the Holley NH are very common Model T carburetors, and the bowls are very different sizes. There are also several Kingstons, but I haven't compared their bowls. The T was made for nineteen years and used a lot of different carbs. Many of them, especially after 1920, have a nameplate that identifies them.
