What is the right carb gasket? 63 340hp Carter
Gang;
See pic of original intake for 63 340hp with correct carter 3461s carb.
What is the correct style of intake/carb gasket to use.
On another thread someone questioned that I might not have the right one.
Please give a part number if you can
Any help would be great.

Your gasket should match the opening contour of your manifold.

Yes, turn gasket 90 degrees.
I like 4-hole gaskets because I once had a problem with the intake whistling with an AFB on a 4-hole intake with a 1-hole carb gasket. But, with that manifold and the one side siamesed between the secondary and the primary, that is the correct gasket.

The gasket the OP shows is not the correct gasket and may cause a problem if he turns it 90*.

Not being familiar with the Carter carb, I will ask the question anyway --will the 3 hole gasket for the Holley(2818) used on 64 & 65 work?
Paragon shows a separate gasket for the AFB on the 63 340 hp with aluminum manifold part number703. Bet that's the correct one.

No, at closer look it can't be turned. I went though a list of Holley gaskets at Summit a few weeks ago and didn't see any 3-holers turn up. Another option is to make one out of gasket material if you want a 3-holer. A 4-holer should also work on it and you could trim it into a 3-holer.
