Getting parts together to freshen up my Six Pack carbs on my 440.
They are Holley repop carbs and are still in nice shape.
The last time I had the center carb apart I couldn't remember the right way to install my bowl vent baffle.
It's the plastic one pictured below.
If I put the baffle on the alignment tabs on TOP of the bowl gasket, it just fell off as soon as I moved the carb.
I ended up putting it UNDER the gasket but I'm not sure if that was correct..would that cause a vacum leak?
So when I tear the carb apart again I want to do it the right way.
First, do I need this baffle at all?
Second, should I replace it with a push in style baffle if that's possible?
Third, if I reuse the current baffle does it go on top or underneath the bowl gasket?
Thanks
