I guess this is for the real gru's. What is the difference in proformance between the two available carb to manifold gaskets. one is just a big hole the other is four holes, one for each throat.

The engine is a chevy 5.7 and the carb is a Q-Jet.

thanks, again

I have two gaskets. One is the big ol' hole, and very thick. The other is cut to exactly match the 4 holes of my Q-Jet, not nearly as thick. both exactly match the manifold. given the choice which will provide for the best proformance.

No noticable difference. Use the one with 4 holes, if you manifold has 4 holes. If your manifold has one big hole, use the gasket with one big hole.
