Sniper EFI base gasket

I am going to be installing the sniper EFI and I am wondering what folks are using for the base gasket? I am running the performer RPM intake manifold. Any help is appreciated.

Squarebore? If so, use the gasket included in the kit, or order the thicker Mr. Gasket gasket.

Make sure and sign in on the Holley forum, there is tons of user info)

I believe it is spreadbore, there is a divider in the center? I thought all of the edelbrock performer rpm manifold were the same and it seems alot of people run them is why I thought Id post the question here, thanks for the reply I will check out that forum as well!

If your performer RPM is a spread bore you might have to use the 2732 thin "adapter" plate to prevent a vacuum leak.

Correct, I have been told to use the edelbrock 9265 insulator gasket in place of the 2732 and should have no issues, we will see, I’m in the process of rewiring with an auto wire harness so it may take me a few days to be ready to run! Thanks for the replies

NO! I am building the 350 from my 72 convertible, it will be nice to see how reliable and affective it is I would not be opposed to putting it on my 83 at a later time
