Dave,
 The kit i purchased at NAPA came with an instruction sheet. The number on the 
sheet is GF10413. I did a search on yahoo but didn't come up with anything. If 
you would like i can email you a .pdf copy from work.  Just let me know if this 
is what you are referring to. By the way, i was just looking it over again and 
it says Chevy 6 cyl. (also pontiac 6 -Canada) with heat insulator block does 
not require a flange gasket.

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?

Another good reason to use gaskets on both sides is the parts book calls for
it ... "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.

You will get all kinds of opinions but here is my experience with my 216.
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.

Gettin ready to put my carb back on the 216 and wasn't sure if i am suppose
to put a gasket between the intake an space for carb. I know their should be
one between carb and space. Can anyone tell me?
