I have a 1951 chevy with the 216 and I am having fits with the carb! After messing around with it trying to fix all the leaks I bought the chevy of the 40's kit (new gaskets) installed them and...it STILL LEAKS! The leak is right where the gasket is between the top of the carb and bowl. I tightened down the slotted head bolts as much as possible but it still leaks. I am VERY frustrated with this carb. I have a 235 (not running) in a parts car that I want to restore so I don't want to replace the rochester in the 216, only get it to stop leaking!
p.s. the motor does run, the carb does work it just LEAKS OUT THE BRAND NEW GASKET!!!!!!!!!!
Any help is GREATLY appreciated
