Detailed Description

Fel-Pro 60398 is a carburetor mounting gasket for classic GM air and fuel delivery service. It is built to provide a reliable seal where the carburetor mounts to the intake, helping maintain proper vacuum integrity and stable fuel delivery on vehicles such as the Buick Regal, Chevrolet Malibu, and Pontiac Grand Prix. Fel-Pro’s sealing approach focuses on application-specific materials rather than a one-material-fits-all design, which is important on older carbureted engines where surface condition and sealing consistency matter.

This part cross-references FEL-PRO 35211 and 35247 for the same application. The Fel-Pro 60398 designation is also useful when matching service parts for Buick Century, Chevrolet Caprice, and Oldsmobile Cutlass carburetor mounting repairs.

What It Is Used For

• Sealing the carburetor mounting surface to the intake manifold
• Addressing vacuum leaks at the carburetor base
• Restoring proper idle quality after gasket wear or deterioration
• Correcting fuel odor or drivability issues related to poor sealing
• Replacing a damaged or compressed carburetor mounting gasket
