**Is this normal?? 318 intake residue**

Thanks, I know I can always count on solid feed back from you guys. Funny I went out and bought carb cleaner, but I guess ill stick with water on a bottle. I wont get around to it till tomm or later in the week, but will give an update on the outcome. Should I go fel-pro or edelbrock on gasket, both around the same price.


FWIW, that shim gasket is THIN. When you go to a paper gasket it's over twice as thick and you may have to mill the manifold faces to get it to fit. That's assuming it fits now.
