I am looking for a place to purchase one of these gaskets or maybe someone has an extra they will let go of. local auto part stores cant seem to find any of there suppliers that have this gasket. thanks for your help.
thanks for all your comments. some people call this carb a 4 Jet, I think its made by Rochester, it was used on many application's in early 60's Buicks, Oldsmobile's, Chevy 327 engines, as you can tell I no very little about these carbs.

WTF is a WCF 4 gasket?

Probably forgot the " B " as in Carter WCFB early 4 BBL carb.

If you keep striking out, you can cut your own gasket if you buy the material. It’s not hard to do, but I usually go the pre-made route, too.

Made many a gasket using thin style cardboard such as from a breakfast cereal box. Lay it over your desired gasket area and "gently" tap the edges and all bolt holes, ports, etc. with a small ball peen hammer. Gently is the word for sure. All you want is just to make a legible impression of the needed gasket. Carefully cut using a scalpel or razor blade as needed. Sometimes if the edges are sharp enough the cardboard will kind of "snap" like poorly cut puzzle piece. Good luck, takes a bit of practice but easy to master once it's done a few times. Made many of these when needed a gasket and $$ was in short supply.

Don’t know much about Carter carbs, but I see at least 4 different gaskets with a quick google search. A pic or part # would be helpful
