Re: 1962 305 Carb spacer has cuts in line with throttle shaft
I decided they wouldn't make these cuts if they weren't needed, so I took the old gaskets and spacer and put them on the carb base to see if I could see the purpose of the cuts. It looks like there is a small passage in the main body of the carb that the cuts transfer manifold flow or vacuum to. So 15 minutes with dremel and a carbide burr, and gasket punches and a knife, and the cuts are replicated. I just realized I didn't need to make the relief slots in the gasket under the spacer.
