The carb rebuild kit (Walker) I bought only came with a 318 carb to intake gasket, not the super six carb to intake gasket. Will the 318 one work?

Please be specific. Which gasket arrived in your kit? Describe it for us, or post a (reasonably small) picture. How thick is it? Two round holes or one big bathtub-shaped hole? End notches or none? And (exactly) what carb are you using?

That's the one with the notches in the side, right?

If so, i've had good luck using them as long as the surfaces are flat, and the carb is properly torqued-down and kept that way. I have not experienced vacuum leaks in the notch areas, however others may have.

I am using a Carter BBD. The 318 one in this pic is the one I have. Its about 1/2" thick, give or take.

You ought to be OK using the notched gasket.
