Got my rebuilds back from cliff. I just confirmed I left the triangle wedge gaskets and studs on manifolds. So I got back a thick and thin gasket. Do I use both or just one? Also do i used gasket seal too?

they look really nice he painted the black. Also do you guys have a torque for the 4 bolts?

There is a gasket on the intake manifold under the wedge and a gasket on top of the wedge. I don't have a torque setting but use the cross pattern when tightning down the nuts. Be careful not to over do or you will warp the carb body.
 
If the wedge wasn't disturbed, just use the thick gasket on top of it, discarding the old one..

12 ft lbs should be more than enough, especially with the thick gasket.
