Air cleaner gasket

[Doug&Deb]

Does anyone know if the gasket between the air cleaner and carb is supposed to be a cork ring? I’ve always had a homemade gasket there but there’s a cork ring that seems to be the right size for it in the gasket kit I got for the engine rebuild.

I have vague memory of there having been a cork gasket in there; sounds about right. At present, I have one that I made out of a thick piece of gasket material.
