After installing dual 40's on a '76 2.0, and running the tall manifords. They were set up by Jake, and started up the first time....Semper Fi! Anyway, after a valve adjustment, tweaking the timing, and fine tuning the carbs, took the car out for a fifthteen mile run. Still need to tweak the carbs, but noticed the bank of 1 & 2 were just barely warm. Bank 3 & 4 were almost hot! Searched the oldies posts back to 2003, and found a thread on gaskets. I had installed my manifolds with the gaskets that Jake had sent with the set, but had to remove the manifolds to plug the holes on each side. Reinstalled the manifolds with the FI gaskets. My question...sorry this is so long....was I suppose to add paper gaskets w/the FI ones??

No to the paper gaskets.
The FI gaskets you are talking about are the ones with the plastic spacer? Here is what I did. I took the manifolds, and polished the flange with 400 grit sandpaper on a thick glass window pane until it was totally flat. This took a little time, but as soon as you start you can clearly see all the imperfections in the "flat" of the flange. As to the hot and cold, are you sure that the 1/2 bank of carbs is firing? Did you do any adjustment before you started driving? Sounds to me like you are driving off the 3/4 bank. You have to get them gross adjusted before you start driving. once driving you should only need little tweaks. Zach |

Zach Zach........don't rember if they had plastic spacers....just know they came of a D-Jet system, and rember a post that said to use the stock gaskets to keep car from vapor locking when hot.....Gene |

Those are to eliminate heat from the heads going in to the intake manifolds. |
