Thick carb gasket why??
[QUOTE=Vette5311;1607719147]I use one of these. It’s about 1/4 inch thick so since you don’t have stock intake best check hood clearance as you may have to run a bit lower air cleaner.
what is the purpose of the thick gasket??? Thanks. Let me know

[QUOTE=bobrl;1607731087]Its gasket like material but is a Carburetor Space designed to reduce heat transfer in to the Carb and lessen Fuel Percolation, Vapor Lock, etc
It sometimes requires adjustment of Primary Jets as it *Can* weaken the draw on carb venturies. Not sure it really will at this thickness.

I had a similar problem when the car got hot. Also it was very hard to start after it was run and turned off for awhile. I found the carb float was set too high. Readjusted it to 1/2 inch and solved the problem.
