Fuel Filter Nylon Gasket?
Anyone have the part numbers for the gaskets between the fuel filter and the carb body? Have a leak there and that can be the only explanation I can think of.

Doc Rebuild has the fuel inlet fitting gasket listed in the catalog for $2.00. I would imagine it is available from any auto parts store as well.
It is very easy to cross thread that inlet fitting into the carb. If this is the case, a new gasket will probably not fix the leak.

GM part no. 7024281
Would remove the filter nut and look into the carburetor
inlet. I have had these gaskets come loose and get
wrinkled up behind the filter nut. Causes a leak for
sure.
