Detailed Description

Fel-Pro 72579 is a carburetor choke tube gasket designed for classic air and fuel delivery service where a dependable seal matters. Fel-Pro uses application-specific sealing materials to help maintain consistent contact at the choke tube interface, supporting proper carburetor function on vehicles such as the Ford Mustang, Ford LTD, and Mercury Cougar. This part number, 72579, is listed for a wide range of 1970-1979 Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln fitments.

What It Helps Address

  • Fuel or air leakage at the carburetor choke tube connection
  • Vacuum-related drivability issues caused by a poor seal
  • Hard starting concerns tied to sealing loss in the choke circuit
  • Carburetor performance problems on aging factory applications
  • Repeat service caused by worn or compressed gasket material

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the carburetor and choke tube style against the vehicle listing before installation. Clean both sealing surfaces thoroughly, inspect for warpage or corrosion, and confirm the two-hole mounting pattern matches the application. For best results, install on a clean, dry surface and torque fasteners evenly to avoid distorting the gasket.

Quality Assurance

Fel-Pro gaskets are built around vehicle-specific sealing solutions and materials selected for professional repair use. Part number 72579 follows that sealing-focused approach for classic Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln carburetor service.
