Just use a regular 4150 style carb gasket, any parts store will have them.
I trimmed mine a little on the inside to make sure it was not obstructing flow.

Not an edelbrock elbow, but I just used some loctite flange sealant, no gasket. Bolted up, left to dry then installed.

No leaks.

you can do it one of two ways
run the standard 4150 style gasket
or get red RTV, make a thin layer, bolt it on, let it dry. Doing this, just have to make sure u dont get it INSIDE the intake where it could flake off and get in the engine.

If the flanges are flat, then IMO sealant only is the best option.

If the flanges are not totally flat, than a gasket may be better ( with sealant also )

no it was used but fast and or edelbrock does not make a flat style 4 bolt gasket.. if u use it on say a fast intake they use a o ring in the intake.. ill use sealant and be done easy and fast..
