I'm in the process of installing a set of FCR's and manifolds,my delema is do I use the thick gasket that was sitting in front of the old stock carbs against the intake ports?With the new manifolds not using them makes the bolts that came with the new ones(manifolds) a little long,with them the carbs fit tight,very tight.Without the gasket I may be able to use whats left of my freak kit with only slight modifacations.what did you do?
