Re: Carburetor to Manifold Gaskets

That makes sense! Easy to not just go down rabbit holes, but to tumble down them. I mainly got to thinking that one surface or side of the gasket was meant to seat against the casting and the other for the phenolic insulator.

Out of curiosity, are there opinions on torquing the carburetor down? I've mostly seen "snug; don't overtighten." In the '51-'54 service manual spec, it suggests 15-18 ft. lbs. for the carburetor stud nuts. That about where I ought to be for a WDO on 1950 as well? Thanks again!
