And to add to the confusion, the Parts List (AKD 1151) shows that it is
simply: intake manifold, "insulating distance piece", heat shield,
"joint washer", carburetter. In other words, no gasket on either side of
the distance piece.
The illustration shows the "insulating distance piece" as having three
distinct layers.
I have the Parts List in front of me, as I am transferring it to CD as
we speak.
