Product details
EMPI 00-3396-0 is a pair of carburetor base gaskets that seal 48mm and 51mm Weber IDA and EMPI EPC carburetors to their intake manifolds. EMPI calls it the "48-51 IDA/EPC Gaskets, Pair (New Design)," and its parts breakdown for the EPC 48 and EPC 51 calls out this gasket as the carburetor base gasket. A leak here lets unmetered air in, causing a rough idle and a lean mixture that makes jetting hard to read.
EMPI also makes 00-3398-0, a base gasket pair for 51mm IDA and EPC carbs only. For a thicker, vibration-damping mount, Bugpack's polyurethane soft mounts (about .200 inch thick) are B156214 for 48mm carbs and B156216 for 51mm carbs. EMPI's 48/51 EPC/IDA short manifold kits include intake and carb base gaskets, so a new manifold install may already have them.

Fitment & Compatibility
Fits 48mm and 51mm IDA-pattern carburetors, used in dual-carb kits on air-cooled VW engines. Weber 40 and 44 IDF and EMPI HPMX carbs use a different base gasket.
Installation & Tuning Notes
Remove all old gasket material and check that both flanges are clean and flat. Tighten the carburetor nuts a little at a time, alternating sides, so the flange pulls down evenly.

Yes. EMPI rates 00-3396-0 for 48 and 51 IDA and EPC carburetors.
How many gaskets come in the pack?
Two, one for the base of each carburetor on a dual setup.
