Carburetor Flange Gasket

[AlfinCT]

Guys, I need a carb flange gasket proto. Is there a NAPA or other number I can use? Thanks.

No, but they will have gasket material. Purchase a piece and either use a dirty finger to rub the edges of the gasket while pressed against the manifold to define where you need to cut the material, --or carefully use a small ball-pein hammer to tap the edge and the throat to define the areas that need to be cut out.

Those scissors skills I learned growing up have helped me more than once. Now if I can only stop running with them.......

I've got some spares & could mail you one...take a couple of days. Let me know

Another reason to keep a full set of gaskets on hand.

Now if I could only remember where the one I need is!

If you use the ball-pein hammer method, do the holes first then the outside!

Hole punches work great for the mounting holes, but if you buy the cheap sets from H/F be sure to inspect the cutting edge. Some are ground with no quality in mind.

I'll never forget the very sad story Paul Harvey told one day about 40 years ago, about the little girl that said "look mommy, I can dance", but died when she spun around and fell and the scissors she was holding went through her heart.

The sissors that we used in early elementary school was required to have rounded tips.
