I am the Rochester guy but going to be installing Carter in my buddys Caddy… and have a question regarding the steel shim…
Should I apply the gas resistant sealant or another gasket instead???

Just use all the recommended gaskets under the Carter carb ——no sealant needed
The aluminum gasket is required with the stock Carter for the engine to run correctly —- covers an air hole of some kind in the bottom of that carb

You must use sealant, otherwise you will have a vacuum leak. Even the shop manual mentions using a cement. Todays sealants are much better than the older stuff.

Hey Russ
I can only say that I have never used a sealant myself on my stock Carter carb base gaskets with no vacuum leaking issues
I do now have an Edelbrock 1406 but the base gaskets are still the same as those used for the stock Carter in my caseThat is why I responded as I did

Lower Front End Ball Joints

Good Morning all!
I took the 64 into the shop to have some adjustments completed and in the process decided to have the lower ball joints replaced as was recommended the last time I had it in. I ordered the parts and came into the shop. They quoted me nearly $500 to replace those lower ball joints requiring nearly 4hrs of labor. Now this is a reputable shop and they know me by name here and they will continue to get my business. I am just questioning what on earth is…

I'm having my steering sector rebuilt, and considering changing it from 20-1 ratio 4.2 turns lock to lock to 3.5 turns lock to lock @ 16-1 ratio, If i change from a 3 1/4" box to a 3" box i could have a 14-1 Ratio steering response would be faster, shorter distance to turn the wheel to get a response, has anyone done this? and how do you like it? thank you
