Should I cut the adapter plate or leave it alone. I just received this from CFM.

You could notch it to match the intake, but youd have to be very careful that there is enough gasket surface remaining to seal off the bores and vacuum port passages under the tbi base.

Thanks for the reply, I will make sure to measure and re-measure to get the right cut. Will post pictures once the cut has been made.

This should help. Everywhere in red must be in contact with the gasket on both surfaces and each must be free of nicks and gouges in that area.

As for the gasket, take teh plate off when your done and mount the tbi to it. Then turn the plate/tbi over and trace and/or cut out the portion of the gasket that overhangs. I did this to make my gaket for my holley tbi when none of the ones for the larger tbis where available.
