I didn't know gaskets existed. I always spread some blue permatex gasket
compound on the phenolic blocks and installed the carbs. Never had any
problems, as the compound isn't affected by gasoline or heat. It stays
liquid and flexible while keeping the seal intact, and the blocks can be
removed and repositioned. And it's cheap.
