Bert,

I just checked their site and there's no listing for it. A part # search is just as fruitless.

Will a Fel-pro 6464 work?

Do you know its composition? I might be able to just make one.

The gasket is a fiber material that I would guess is about .040" - .050" thick.

I'm not familiar with the Fel-Pro gasket.

So I'll check the Felpro one,

I would like to not have to buy an entire gasket set for one gasket.

My local vendor will sell one or two at a time, no need to buy the whole set. They are great people to work with.

I would cut my own if I only needed one pc.

Bert,

Do you know the inner and outer diameters, in case I need to cut one?

Thanks in advance if you do.

So I ended up with a felpro mounting gasket for chevy small blocks Part number at autozone is 70194.

Seems to be working so far.

I found it by pressing a piece of card stock over the mounting surface and matching up a gasket to the oil profile on the card.
