I was looking at that. Dan has always been the voice of reason. It seems as though that it depends on how you do this, rather than with which material.

Thank you all for your input. Looks like cork it is!

Thank you for all of the input! I do not have a torque wrench, so what is the general "rule of thumb" for proper tightening? I have heard that you want to get it finger tight, then give it a couple more rotations with a socket wrench. Is that about right, or not?

Awesome, thanks!

Hello all, I was wondering which gasket for a valve cover is better: rubber or cork? Or is it just more of a preference? Common sense tells me that a rubber gasket would be better, but wanted to get some expertise before I change it out. I noticed that ther was oil under my car, and that...

Sorry to hear about your car! I appreciate the advice! I will have to research how to adjust the carb. My wife and kid are going out of town for a month and I got nothing better to do. Its a San Diego car and has been moved from there to Michigan and then to Texas with me. I dont think she...

I will have to check that tonight. Thanks

That about sums up the problem right there. I will have to look into how to fix this. Carbs are a new monster for me. It smells like its running a little rich, and after I turn off the car my garage smells like a gas station. Is that normal from residual fuel sitting in the dish? Thank...

Got some clarity. My dad got mine confused with his 64 Valiant which had the Super Six. At least now I am not chasing a ghost. Thanks for all of your help!

I will try to get some pictures up. Thank you for your info! This car is actually a San Diego car. It was owned by a Marine Officer who was stationed there and that is where it spent its whole life until my dad bought it a few years ago.

It has trouble warming up and has a very rough idle while I am in drive, but stopped. As this car is new to me, I am learning as I go. In inspecting the individual components I came across that piece and saw that it was badly rusted. While trying to research what this piece actually was I...

Thanks Dan! That definately helps clear things up! I'm not sure if it is the original carb or not. Only has 34,000 original. She has led a sheltered life thus far. It appears to be original, but my knowledge is very limited as this is my first real project car. I have only had the car for...

Hello All, I have a 74 Valiant Brougham with a 225 Slant 6 and I am having an issue identifying my carburetor and was wondering if anyone could offer some insight. The only identifying marks on the carb are as follows: 6R 4360...
