I couldn't remember whether '67 used the insulator gaskets. But you say
that on the '67 they used and insulator between the manifold and the
carb. That may be right. My memory fails me at times.
As for the difference between the T-1 and the T-3's, Jim, you need to
work on a T-1 once in a while. :=) Their intake manifold has a balance 
port built into the intake manifold ends. There is a slot/groove in the
cast ends on a T-1 dual port manifold, between the front and rear
cylinders.
