Hi,
I just had the carb on my 53 custom line with the straight six rebuilt.
I went to remove the old gasket to reinstall it and found that there was no less than 6 gaskets stacked together.
Is there a reason that this was done?
Would it have been done to isolate the carb more from the hot manifold?
They were not glued together, they did have a staple through them on each side.
This was my great grandmother's car and all the guys that I know would have worked on it have passed on.
Thanks in advance for any knowledge of why this may have been done
