Mystery Gasket
Topic Started: Mar 9 2013, 01:00 AM (601 Views)

Alright metroheads I need a little help. I am at the point of my rebuild of re-assembly. I cannot find the gasket that goes between the distibutor base and the head. Circlular in shape with three bolt holes. The distibutor bolts to this piece. Other than that all I need are new spark plugs. Use NGK right? The previous plugs were not NGK and I cannot remember what brand they were.
Please fire for effect with answers, questions and comments.

That or order the one in Glenn's sig like I did. Only one bolt hole lines up but seals great.

It fits and it's not leaking... Rofl. I wanted the 3 hole one but I think it was waiting for an order from japan... I'm happy with the thermostat gasket it got and it doesn't leak.. :-). I thought 35365 was thermostat gasket? Hrm mm.
