Alan, 

The last thing you want is to suck in air after the carbs.

Charlie

Is there any conventional wisdom for making this seal? This is on the balance 
pipe between the carbs on the 100 engine. 

I think originally it was some mixture of fibre/cloth and a tarlike substance 
wound in a circle and compressed when assembled. The o-rings they provide in 
head gasket kits are a laughable substitute. 

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. 

Cheers, 

Alan
