carb gasket to mate a Holley carb to the air cleaner, and not the paper-thin junk I keep getting, but a really thick one, as thick as a valve cover gasket?

OK I was thinking 1x4 Holley stoopid me
Yes we have 3/16" thick cork, two blends; light color mostly cork, less rubber blend and dark: mostly rubber, less cork, yet still a cork rubber blend.
Now if you talking thicker than 3/16", I may have some 1/4" but I don't recall they used that thick, but what the heck do I know. I forget more each year.

I don't think the cross section of the 1x4 pattern is not sufficient enough in strength to be cut from a cork rubber blend material even if you use a 3/16" thick cork. I think the 3x2 was wider, but haven't looked directly at these parts or blueprints in a while.

The gasket I'm looking for was
thick cardboard, and was factory equipment on all 2V and 4V Ford products for many years. It gives better clearance on the Holley carb than the paper gaskets everybody tries to sell me. I guess I could just glue like 8 of them together...Comment

the std holley 4 barrel gasket was .060 thick
the holley part # 108-4 and there are 3 in this package. check with you local speed shop and glue them togetherComment

Thanks, 3 or 4 of them
ought to just about do it. Funny, every 4V and 2V Ford came with the thick gasket for over a decade, probably about a spazzillion cars, and yet nobody, not even Ford, provides this thick gasket.Comment

Cost, raise the price and cut the amount of material and quality.Comment

check with shops that cater to circle track
racers as they have ones that have "O" ring seals to keep out the dirt and these should be thicker than normalComment
