[Healeys] tricarb vacuum pick off

[Steven Kemple]

The carbs still were in pretty rough shape, but probably not as bad as it
appeared.  The gaskets that slipped were the ones on the reverse side of the
heat shield.  The holes in them were very elongated.  They were over the
studs.  One would think that if the joint was tight...  I know it sounds
impossible but it happened.  If interested I have a couple of pics that I took
prior to removal of the heat shield that I can forward off list.

How did the gaskets slip over the port?  I thought that this was held in place
by the intake studs, no?
