Rebuilding the original 1959 4 barrel ford / autolite 4100 carb.
The lid gasket has an extra hole by the center air cleaner stud.
This appears to be a passage for the new model 4100s.
Problem is, it will leak vacuum at idle as it lands right in the middle of the divider wall.
Is there a proper gasket for these early carbs? I cant seem to find one.
Should i fill it with something?
When disassembling it had the same incorrect gasket and hole for what thats worth.
