carburetor base gasket (1 Viewer)

[breckbone]

Hi guys. Just wondering if there's a local source that anyone knows of that might have a carburetor base gasket? I've checked a couple places and have had no luck and don't really want to pay for shipping (and wait for it) if I can avoid it.

Thanks.

Call CDan and see how fast he can get it to you. For a gasket, the shipping couldn't be too much. You might be surprised. I've had him get stuff to my door from New Mexico quicker than my local dealer could get a part that I would still have to go pick up.

Not sure if you are looking to stay stock all the way on your truck but I used non-hardening RTV to seal my carb. No vacuum leaks after four years.

Is it silicone? If so, I hear that can get into the fuel line.
As far as staying stock goes, I want to be stock-ish. The '68 originally came w/a 1bbl. I want that other barrel since fuel is so cheap right now. Beyond that I do want to stay pretty close to stock. That's not to say I won't entertain using alternatives on things as small as gaskets, but do want to know what the pros/cons are.

Thanks for the info.

I'm off now to search for that thread about how to properly get ahold of CDan...thanks Felix.

you'll use form a gasket number 2 - non-hardening and safe for gasoline contact


do not use RTV - John is just smoking that oregano again

Yep, that exact Permatex product. I call all their products RTV, or as Ryan would say puckey.
