Are there tuneup specs for the Roch new style 235/261 setup? I could use both really. I am putting together an engine tuneup guide and this would be a good idea to also include?

"INSULATOR, Gasket, use on both sides". The Carburetor Bulletin (Form 4958F) for 1937-1952 passenger cars and same trucks (but up 1953) also show a flange gasket (carb to insulator) and at the manifold. The bulletin also has the tune up specs if you want them. I've never seen an automotive application that did not have a gasket at the carburetor... interesting.

Spacer and manifold should be both dead flat so shouldn't need gasket and I suppose one could get them both that way with some effort. I tried and always had some small amount of leakage. Looked all over the internet to get it "right". Happened to look at LMC's catalog and see that they have both top and bottom gaskets. Gave it a try and no leaks. Works good, no issues AND using the two gaskets makes it MUCH easier to get the inboard nut on the manifold stud. My conclusion is there is no reason not to use both and I have found two reasons why its a good thing.

I know their should be one between carb and space. Can anyone tell me?
