Gaskets

[blitzkraig]

Does anyone know where I can get the gaskets that go between the air cleaner and the carbs on a stock 71 240? I tore them off the air cleaner when I painted it to match the car but now I can't find anyone who knows what I'm talking about let alone carry them. Thanks

I think that you're going to have to fabricate something yourself. I've never seen them available separately. Trace out an outline of the carb face(s) on paper, then increase the outer dimensions by about 1/4 inch in all directions, Transfer the design onto a good quality gasket material (or BUNA-N sheet rubber) and carve yourself a nice set. A little high-temp RTV can be used to stick them to the air cleaner assembly and you are back in business.
