Default 63 300hp afb carb gasket

Does it make any difference which of these gaskets I use?

If you’re using the original spacer that goes between the carburetor in the intake you should use the ones with the four holes in them 2 gaskets and a spacer.

If you are using the original fuel filter and steel fuel lines you must use the space or under the carburetor or none of the lines will fit properly. You will need to bend the lines and bend the fuel filter mounting bracket to make it all work.

The installation sequence is in your AIM. It's a good idea to plug the "heat slot" ports in the manifold with Welsh or NPT plugs. This should mitigate the percolation issue.

If you don't have the spacer and stainless steel heat shield, I'm sure they are available from the various Corvette parts vendors.
