Brakes Carb 66 Vette

1966 Corvette 327/300 4 speed Oct 65 car
Need to know the arrangement of the gaskets between the cast iron intake and the HOLLEY CARB. Also what are the front casting #'s for the brake calipers and are ther any date codes on them.
Thanks for your response.

Gasket goes on first, stainless steel baffle next, and carburetor on top.

Front brake caliper halves were casting numbers 5465952 and 5465954. There is what appears to be a date code. However, it includes no reference to year, so it's fairly meaningless. It's not a judged item, either.

Ed,

On the carb, the gasket goes against the manifold and the SS baffle goes against the carburetor base. If you have the carb off and the manifold has a "hot slot", consider plugging the exhaust gas holes in the hot slot. See this post from the arhives:
