Thanks.
Jack, I don't have any experience with the filters since I don't use one, I have an indented firewall car. I can offer some insight on how the gasket works. When the bowl is tightened, the gasket is pulled into the top and the center will raise up to provide clearance for the fuel to get to the holes. This is true with the cork or neoprene gaskets. Myself, whgen I had a car with a glass bowl, I used a distributor gasket from a 390 FE motor since it is the correct diameter and has a tapered top which will compress and seal better IMHO. Mileage here will vary.
