Holley gasket?
I ran 85% ethanol and didn't have that problem. Looks like a combination of misalignment and over-tightening to me.

Yah, stuff around me all has up to 10% ethanol.
Looks mostly like over-tightening to me.

Fairly snug with a 1/4" drive ratchet, maybe i can be a little less aggressive in my tightening for new gaskets, im doing nothing more than what ive done all my times working on carburetors. But gasket looks to have been dipped in acid.
