So there I was, in the middle of the night trying to put my engine together. Wouldn't you know it? No carb-to-manifold gaskets. Drat.
But I did have a roll of gasket material. High-temp stuff I got at Pep Boys for some project. So I turned a junk carb over and sprayed a little paint on the bottom. Then I pressed the carb onto the gasket material like a stamp, thus:

Hozsat?
