carburator to air cleaner gaskets

[Special Ed]

Did the aluminum air cleaners have the thin gasket vs the 3 stacked type found on regular air cleaners with the red on 1 side? I sent original gaskets to chris brown back years ago to make but never got finished as i see nothing out there that is correct on the market and we are back to working on this much needed part. I seen the red type and a more orange type and is it different vendors or running changes. Was the c5zz  service gasket used from 65 on up or was there a different type as i have a thin with a c7zf ink # stamped on it that came out of ford engineering and its not the 3 layer stacked type gasket as we are wanting to make the assembly line type only so what do you guys think is concours correct?

I can't say for certain which one was used on the aluminum aircleaners because I have seen both on what appears to be unmolested survivor cars. I don't know of anyone who is currently doing a ready made 3 layer red side gasket so that would be a good one to make IMO.I have typically seen the red color at least on 65-67

3 layer was for clearance of 4150 bowl flapper. Not saying aluminum bases didn't get them but they didn't need the clearance because of design and 4160 carbs. 2100, 4100 and 4300 used single layer

we are making originals so anybody got a sample to copy as i got assembly line 3 layers here and am going to make the solid orange top  not the red lines c5zz service ones. The ones we are making are new take offs with c7zf 9654 a. black ink stamp on bottom side as i got some out of ford plant years ago. What i am trying to figure out is what change was made in 67 to have that id #?  Does anybody got an original 65 66 carb gasket to compare or is there 2 vendors or a running change on the top color  strpped redish or  solid orangeish.   I sent originals to chris brown back years ago to make but dont know what happened to them but we were working on them when he passed. and i dont know why nobody has repoed this much needed gasket as every car needs one but we want to make the assembly line type.
