Have those of you who have inserted gaskets actually measured the
pressure afterwards? If so and if it really does go down to 2 - 3
psi, then I'm really confused.

I was travelling,, and the engine would run strange .... I realized it did 
strange things at GAS Tank Half Full........ so I put on my fuel pressure 
gauge... ZERO pressure.... ??
so I was running on head pressure... but at half tank, the fuel level was 
below the carb inlet.. and needed syphon to continue,, or mechanical pump 
pressure..

I pulled out both gaskets.. the pressure increased to 10 PSI.... I put one 
gasket back in,, and I was at 5psi...
so I sanded off the gasket thickness from the phenolic block....and put the 
other gasket back in,, and it stayed at 5psi
hope that helps
