Would someone measure the gasket going between the bowl and the body on the Holley and Kingston carburetors?

Thank you!

Get out the calipers and measure it, then get a good gasket cutter. EEZY PEEZY! ws

Steve, I didn't know there were different versions used on the Model T. Synder's shows a couple of different gaskets so I was hoping one would be the size I need, which is ID = 2.625, OD = 2.725, thickness = .025
I'll just ask them to measure the ones they sell.

I did cut my own gasket and it will work, but it could be better - ya know.

Yep, the Holley G and the Holley NH are very common Model T carburetors, and the bowls are very different sizes. There are also several Kingstons, but I haven't compared their bowls. The T was made for nineteen years and used a lot of different carbs. Many of them, especially after 1920, have a nameplate that identifies them.
