okay you sbc guys I have a dumb question for you. I am running a corvette 3872783 cast intake that's meant for a holly carb and I have a 1406 edelbrock carb and I was just curious if I need to run the original style carb gasket or if I would be okay using the square bore gasket that comes with the edelbrock carb and trust me I feel stupid asking a question like this
 
You should be able to run the new Edelbrock gasket IF it covers all the vacuum ports in the intake (if there are any). Generally, a Holley and Edelbrock are very much the same basewise, so you should be ok.

If you have the old gasket compare the two. The new one should be large enough to cover the entire surface of the intake where the carb bolts on.
