Choke stat gasket

[dmoore]

Anyone have a line on the choke stat gasket for the big block 64 intake manifold? I have 4 NOS 340 style, same bolt pattern but too wide. Thanks!

Choke stat...I need the mounting gasket that goes between it and the manifold.

They did not use a gasket. There is nothing to seal.

The only ones that need gaskets are the ones with the removable choke well.

I had one of those divorced chokes on my 318 poly with a 2 barrel. It didn't work at all. I replaced it with an electric choke and it works 1000% better.

I'll bet the exhaust passage in your intake manifold is plugged with carbon.

Heat assisted manual chokes work very good....especially when there's heat under em!
