I removed the original carb because it was leaking between the top plate and the body of the carb. I tried to tighten it down to seal the gasket but it looks like the top plate of carb is warped. My question is where do I find a carb or adapter plate that is small enough bore to fit on there? I have an Edelbrock but the gasket is too big to seal up around the intake. I also have a Q-jet adapter plate but same thing the gasket is too big. What kind of gasket do I need or what carb fits other than another OEM carb?
