72 LT1 Holley carburetor

[Fred H.]

The TIM/JD references that OEM the holly carburetor came with dark brown metering bowl gaskets and the OEM cleaner base gasket was tan or brown. The current Holley rebuild kits the bowl gaskets are blue and the cleaner base gasket is black. What are the judging consequences using the current Holley gaskets?

Coat the edge of the gaskets with a brown flow pen..........

Corvette central shows a tan/cork type air cleaner base gasket-- https://www.corvettecentral.com/c3-6...-jet-to-152140 - although I'm not sure if it should be cork or paper?

Mr. Gasket still has the old brown/tan cork gaskets, https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/mr.-gasket-fuel-bowl-metering-block-gasket-set-1509/5022363-P?navigationPath=L1*14932%7CL2*14981%7CL3*15272%7C L4*-49996835
