CIS Fuel distributor to airbox advice

[mike sampsel]

I noticed what looks to be a split gasket between my fuel distributor and my air box. Wonder if this might cause some vacuum leaks or other issues.

The second photo is a blowup of the area in red oval in the first. Those "thangs" highlighted in blue appear to be a gasket between the airbox and the distributor which has seen better days.

Recommendations? Maybe PMO carbs? LOL

Unmetered air side of air metering plate. Might let a little dust in to the filter box area, but nothing that will affect your vacuum.
The gasket there is more like a foam dust seal.

Thanks,

I needed to hear it’s not serious. Got to use my scope camera though, some good out of it
