What is fuel percolation and how does this gasket help prevent it?

Fuel percolation happens when extreme under-hood heat causes the fuel in your carburetor to boil. This gasket acts as a barrier, insulating the carburetor from the heat of the intake manifold, which helps keep the fuel from boiling and causing running problems.

Does this heat insulator come with everything needed for installation?

Yes, this kit includes extended carburetor studs that are longer to accommodate the gasket's thickness. You will need to disconnect fuel lines, throttle linkage, and vacuum lines to remove and reinstall the carburetor.

Can I use this gasket with any carburetor or intake manifold?

This heat insulator is specifically designed for Edelbrock Performer Series carburetors and works with Edelbrock dual-plane Performer and RPM manifolds. It's important to check compatibility with your specific setup.

Product Details

Edelbrock is well-known for performance parts, especially their carburetors. This divided heat insulator gasket, part number 9266, is designed specifically to work with their Performer Series carburetors when you're dealing with high under-hood temperatures. Its main job is to prevent fuel percolation, which is when the fuel in your carburetor boils and causes running issues, especially after the engine is shut off.

This gasket features a divided center that's crucial for properly sealing to dual-plane Performer and RPM manifolds. It's 0.320 inches thick and rigid enough that it can actually replace an adapter plate like the Edelbrock #2732 if needed. When you install it, you'll use the included extended carburetor studs, which are longer to accommodate the gasket's thickness. Make sure to check your air cleaner-to-hood clearance before installation, as the added height could cause interference.
