Is there supposed to be a gasket between the intake and the air cleaner assembly?

I don't have one (83 stock) and I was thinking about being vulnerable to hydro lock

Mine never had one

All 3 of mine do.


I forgot once to put the one back on on my 6.9 motorhome, and it made the most annoying sound in higher RPM's. I had to put it back on!

Mind you, the engine is right beside you in the cab of a van.....

Hydro lock risk is higher where the bolt goes through the air cleaner lid if your hood leaks.

"Mine never had one" "All 3 of mine do."

Hmmmmmm

All stock engines had two air cleaner gaskets. The rubber gasket for the top bolt is the needed one and the gasket between the intake ahd the filter case is one easily found for any 4 barrel carb engine. All fake auto parts stores have the gasket.

all mine have a gasket attached to the bottom of the aircleaner...
