What inlet gasket on carb'd 205 Pinto
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!
James

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.
Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

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
