Baffle has me baffled!

[Mopar Pearl]

Got a baffle for my 66 valiant 1920 1bbl carb. My carb when i got the car did not have one. Great guy on this forum sent me one.
Anyway put it in, used new gasket when i put it back together and it keeps leaking gas now. Anybody have an idea what to do.
Do I need to use the old cork gasket or a thicker one?
Thank you

Post a photo of where it is leaking. Might have to use some gas gasket sealer.

The quality of carb kits available through normal channels is much poorer than it used to be—including gaskets. Get worthy parts from thecarburetorshop.com . In the meantime, you might be able to get by with two of the crummy parts store carb kit gaskets. Inspect the bowl carefully for a warped or damaged sealing surface, and make sure there is not a single speck of old gasket remaining on the bowl or carb body.

Do not apply any kind of sealer, no matter how "gasoline resistant" it claims to be; that stands to make multiple kinds of problems, none of them fun.
