What is this part? http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/pikappa167/1951%20Chevy/d27a5561.jpg Looks like a rubber riser block. The reason I ask is that it looks very worn and is split on one side at the mounting point. Is it critical that I find another one before I attempt to reinstall the carb? Thanks in advance!
