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??

Zach....carbs were installed the end of May, this year. I have had them covered, and plan on getting that sync meter from a friend that helped me set up the idle after a valve adjustment and timing was done. Going to pull the plugs on the 1/2 bank to read them. Do remember one nut not tighting like the other two on that bank. Maybe a leak there??
