"Rob, I included one of these nylon seals with your latest order. Jason. "
"Thanks everyone for your insight."
"I think that the gasket is more of a chaff guard that a seal. The original material of the seal is a nylon material or something like that. As an Aircraft mechanic for more than 37 years, that material type is used as an anti chaff between…"
"The gasket is usually attached with adhesive to back of booster so yes I think it became part of the booster and probably why not listed in the Master Parts Book. I don't recall ever seeing a thick grommet like the one you attached. …"
"Hi Russ,
I replaced my PB Booster last year and mine was part of the booster on my 1964 Series 62. I believe you are correct.

"Thanks! I haven’t found that gasket either but was going to use a gasket making kit for it. In addition to that seal there is a rubber firewall grommet which is what I’m trying to track down. Attached is a Chevy one that seems somewhat…"
"You got me curious and I looked at the boosters I have in stock. There is a gasket on all of them so it must be part of the booster itself. "
"The parts book does not show a gasket for the 63 64. It lists up to 58 for a body gasket. The corvette world has alot of reproduction parts that may work. "
Power Booster Install
Hey! I’ve seen the 63/64 power booster and master cylinder combination has been covered very clearly. I’m in the process of replacing mine. I was hoping someone could give me insight on a specific replacement seal set into the firewall. Mine is done and wanted a replacement if anyone can point me in the right direction. Photo is attached. Any other insights into this process always appreciated. Also thanks to the knowledgeable Jason Edge for calling out the finish of the firewall paint.RobSee More

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments 1 Like
Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
