    63 FI adaptor plte gaskets

    I need a set of Fuelie intake adaptor plate gaskets. There is a set of gasket on Ebay right now (dont have the listig handy), which has the middle square opening open. When I removed the one from my car, it had the middle square plugged. Which is correct ? I would like to use OEM gaskets. (The one from my car was black in color, came from Paragon...)

      The Ebay listing is: 4564694987, the gasket number is: 37723384. Is it correct for a fuelie ?

              The original FI adapter-to-cylinder head gaskets for 1963 Corvette FI applications were GM #3772384. These gaskets were discontinued about 30 years ago.

              Notwithstanding the configuration of the original gaskets, if it were me, I'd use gaskets with a BLOCKED crossover passage. You want to shield the intake manifold/adapter as mauch as possible from exhaust heat. So, why use gaskets with an open cross-over which exposes that area to direct exhaust heat? FI engines don't use an exhaust cross-over, so there's absolutely no need for cross-over openings in the gasket. Whether they were originally there, or not, no one will know the difference if you use gaskets with a blocked cross-over.
