Intake Gasket

[69 Post Sedan]

I am making some changes to my motor (intake/carb). When I removed them the other day, the intake gasket (Fel-Pro 1211)was cut/torn in a few spots.

I believe this was due to the ports on the heads being bigger than the intake so when they compressed together, the gaskets were cut.

Any recommendations on a gasket that will work with my set up, which is ported heads and a non-ported intake?

I really don't want to gasket match the intake if I don't have to.

Thanks, Kurt

Try a Mr Gasket 108.

What intake are you going to use now?

Eric, I am going to try out a Edelbrock TM2R with a 850 vacuum secondary along with a rear gear change.

BTW....how are you typing with your hand all bandaged up???? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif Hope you have a speedy recovery.

3418? That will be interesting to see how it compares to the 3310 and 4346. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

As far as typing, I have an unorthodox method of typing to begin with--I only use three fingers on my left hand and my middle finger on my right...dunno how/why I started doing it this way, and I'm sure it would send my high school typing teacher off in a fit, but it works...more or less.

Eric, it's the newer 850 V/S that comes on the 502 crate motors. I am hanging onto the 4346 for the street if the 850 is too much.

Cool. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

Did you ever get to track test the 4346 vs the 3310?

BTW, I think I may have a solution to one of the issues you mentioned you were having on the 3310. Give me a call next week and I'll fill you in.

[69 Post Sedan]

Yes....but the day was very hot compared to the other days at the strip. My best with the 4346 was almost identicle to the 3310.

I will get a hold of you.

Have any of you ever seen this happen to intake gaskets? I checked my ports with a mic and the correct gaskets were used.

I remember re-torquing the intake a few weeks after the motor was built so I am leaning towards that being the problem (oops). <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/blush.gif

I purchased a set of Fel-Pro MS90005 intake gaskets. They are black with steel in the middle. They are .060 thick with a dimension of 1.82 X 2.54. I think they will work fine.

EDIT....Here is the part but I only had to pay $13.99.
