No it was kind of like an asbestos and tin thing. Sort of like the material in exhaust manifold gaskets. And the real weird thing about it was it had 3 holes with the holes on one side conjoined front to back.

Sorry, hard to explain. I can't find it in the holley catalog or I'd try to post a part number or picture.

To be honest, I doubt the gasket helped much.

I figured the hard line is okay. If it happens again I think my best bet would be to try a smaller air cleaner.
