Carb gasket 69, 340?

You can run the open gasket. Only the dyno will no the difference between the open and 4 hole.

My question for you is, how thick is the gasket ?
If its the thin base gasket, I would go with an Edelbrock heat insulator gasket. The insulator gasket will help with fuel percolating, and hot restarts.
