Brian,

What gasket did you use behind the 90 mm Corvetter tb that I'm about to install?

Thanks, Jim

I bought some gasket material from the local parts store and cut out my own using the TB as a template. Looks like its going to work fine.

After time, those gaskets would get stuck to the flange and the back of the TB. After the first two, I got tired of that. On the last one, I very lightly smeared the gasket with anti-seize. I've been able to reuse it several times and it doesn't stick anymore.

Thanks Richard. I wondered if gasket material was still available. We used it a lot back in the 50's/60's. You remind me of the guys I knew back then... when performance parts were few and far between and we had to fabricate most everything... including gaskets.
