I decided to add a new cast aluminum intake manifold while I was working on this engine. Reason is www has stories of warped plastic, like I currently have/had causing lean running and major engine damage.
I am wondering about the little metal plate that has the carb output ports partially blocked that mounts between the carb and the intake manifold. Do you have any comments about why that is there and whether or not It's needed? I got a gasket set with the new manifold and one of those was not included even though the gaskets that would mount on either side are in with the new manifold. One was included in the gaskets supplied with the new carb you recommended which I installed (like the one BS put their originally).
Thoughts appreciated,
Thanks,
Mark
