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. USN (ret) DBG |

It's fel-pro 35451. for the dist housing. It fits fine got one off amazon for mine for 6$. Only one bolt hole lines up but works fine. To each his or her own ;-). And yes ngk is recommended . Edited by Vkhelldog, Mar 9 2013, 05:17 AM.

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. Edited by Vkhelldog, Mar 11 2013, 10:39 PM.
