★ This gasket is a critical component of the air intake system. A leaking gasket can lead to a lean mixture and poor engine performance.
Application
Fits between the Zenith carburettor and the air filter elbow on Dodge WC-series vehicles with Zenith Model 29 carburettor. This mainly concerns early 3/4 ton and 1½ ton Dodge lorries from the early production years of WWII.
Installation notes
Check the elbow and carburettor flange for damage before fitting the new gasket. Tighten the fixing screws diagonally with even pressure to prevent distortion. Check for leaks with the engine running after installation.
Compatibility
Specific for Dodge WC vehicles with Zenith Model 29 carburettor. Please note: later Dodge WC models used a Carter carburettor with different gaskets. Check that your vehicle has the Zenith carburettor before ordering.
Historical context
The Zenith Model 29 carburettor was used on early Dodge WC-series lorries during WWII. Later in production, Dodge switched to Carter carburettors due to improved performance and reduced susceptibility to vapour lock.
