A lot can happen in 50+ years, my Carbs. suffered many years of Octane Booster which (when left in Fuel over winters for 20+ years) caused lots of corrosion damage including the Fuel Inlet bore threads and Fittings.

You've got a nice correct Bowl on your Center Carb. (with Vent mechanism), my Center Bowl was replaced in the distant past.

Where did you get the Air Cleaner Base Cork Gaskets and about how thick/tall are they?
