Get some non-silicone caulk sealant.
You may be able to take the warped base place and fix it yourself (if it’s just warped and not cracked). First find a very flat surface, like a pane of glass or a counter top. Then take a sheet of relatively fine wet sandpaper - place it on the sheet of glass and use that to sand and re-flatten the base plate. Rotate the base place in circles over the sandpaper.
I was one of the main carburetor mechanics in a Chrysler/Plymouth dealership back in the 70s. Chrysler had a problem with warped mating surfaces between the two halves of many of their small-block V8 carburetors. The factory-recommended repair procedure was as I described above. It worked really well.
ty so much,i will try that
