    I just had my carb rebuilt. When it was returned, two gaskets were included.

    Which one is correct?

    Thanks again,

    DEADMANSCURVE my first word : truck

    A : contact the rebuilder and get his recommendation . this is minor so not a big deal but it's always good to check back with any rebuilder first before hunting around for answers . unless you don't trust the rebuilder .
    B : probably no real huge dif . the one on the left looks like its thicker so will act as a heat insulator to help keep engine heat outa carb ( too much = bad ) . the metal sleeves are in the 4 holes so you do not over tighten the mount bolts unevenly and cause possible problems . but it will raise the carb like maybe 1/2 inch ? that might not be a big concern . the other looks like just a standard flat base gasket . either way make sure the bottom of the carb and the mounting surface of intake are clean n flat .
