[Fot] Tr3/4 In/Ex gasket

[toodamnfunky at comcast.net]

I found out the hard way that if you use the cannon intake manifolds for dual DCOE's you have to make your own gaskets. 
I had gaskets from three separate sources and none worked on the cannons. I made mine from steel core material from NAPA and treated them like head gaskets with copper coat on both sides.

Over the past several years our racing program got tired of what was on the 
general market and began production crushable graphite die cut gaskets at 
about .060" in thickness.  They have a stainless steel insert and work 
flawlessly. I and other racing FOt'ers' have been using them for perhaps 7 
years now.  Moss will be carrying them very shortly. 
Very shameless self promotion.  But, I have not brought this forward 
previously.   
Contact me off line if you have any interest.

I had problems with this before and it turned out to be an untrue header 
flange. Once I fixed the flange issue, I have gotten away with doubling up 
on the standard gaskets, but they eventually fail. I had a company that 
makes graphite gaskets for industrial purposes run me a small batch a few 
years ago. These have performed flawlessly. I'll go thru my records and send 
there info later today. Great company.

Perhaps the lower studs weren't tightened enough(?). What gasket would you 
recommend to replace it? I forget what was there before- probably one that 
came with the set I got from BFE...
