Having a bit of a brain fade...

I appear to have a leak from the inlet gasket of no.4 piston on my 205 injection Pinto.

However, it's got a downdraft 32/36 carb fitted.

I can't for the life of me remember which gasket I fitted before, or which one I should be fitting?

Should I use the injection gasket or the carb one? Or are the ports the same and it makes no difference?

Thanks!

At a guess i would think injection

injection ones are egg shaped

carb'd ones are round

so its just whichever one matches what you've got...


if you've got a head with egg shaped ports and a manifold with round ones then both will be equally bad (as you'll have the mismatched port shapes regardless of the gasket used)

Use a pattern carb one not the proper ford, the 'copies' have a bit more material around the ports to cope with the miss match.

Dug around in the garage and found an injection one.

Will give that a go I guess.

Some gentle use of sealant helps
Just a smear on either side, push on to head, press on manifold, remove manifold, wipe excess of refit manifold, torque up
