The gasket on the left, with the tab and the 4 separate ports, is the one I use under the insulator next to the manifold. I have the Carter Carburetor on my car, I use that gasket, with 4 separate ports on top of the insulator with the stainless shim on top of that, directly under the carburetor. The gasket with the oval open primary area is for the Rochester Carburetor.

Sorry about that Jason. I did not want to be impatience. its time difference i guess. But thanks for the clearing, You as well David. If i understand it correct...............the one with the lip is always used between the manifold and insulator,no matter what kind of carburetor, and the one without the lip is always used between  the insulator and a Carter carb.

Cees,

Keep in mind many of us work during the day and get to emails to try and help out as time permits. Your posts were at 11:04am and 2pm  something my time.

These are intake to insulator gaskets. One on left is for Carter and one on right is for Rochester as David indicated. Not sure what Rock Auto Charges but I keep a few new ones in the Fel-Pro packing as seen below for $5 each as seen below:

According to Rock Auto, the gasket on the left is for the Carter Carburetor, the one on the right is for the Rochester Carburetor. The left gasket fits the manifold and insulator, so I would think it should be installed there no matter what carburetor is used, the right gasket would be used under the Rochester, it does not use the stainless shim. The carter probably needs the support between the primary barrels under the stainless shim for good contact.
