Carter Carb Gasket Thermoquad Open Center

The Carter Carb Gasket Thermoquad Open Center by FEL-PRO is a precision seal component designed for classic muscle cars and hot rods equipped with Thermoquad carburetors. This gasket is essential for preventing fuel and air leaks at the carburetor-to-intake manifold interface, which is crucial for maintaining optimal fuel metering and engine performance.

Constructed from elastomer and cork composite materials, this gasket is engineered to withstand the thermal cycling and fuel exposure typical in open-center carburetor designs. Its open center configuration allows idle bypass air to feed the intake manifold independently, necessitating precise sealing to avoid unmetered air from disrupting the carburetor's calibration.

This gasket is commonly installed during carburetor rebuilds, manifold gasket replacements, or when addressing drivability issues such as rough idle or stalling. Its lightweight construction (0.08 lbs) makes handling easy, ensuring a tight seal that prevents vacuum leaks and maintains mixture accuracy.
