Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: 258 gasket question

[Luke Wardwell <horneteer2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Charlie.

I know exactly what part you are looking for.   We have it where I work and it sounds just like what you need. It has a 6 holer thin gasket for the intake manifold. A thicker more heavy duty 6 holer gasket for the Exhaust. Also has a round gasket and a square gasket included. Sorry I'm not sure what the part number is off the top of my head. What do you have for parts stores in your area?  I suppose if you wanted me to I could get it at work and send it out to you. I work at CarQuest. Other ones like Napa, Advanced, Autozone should have it. The set costs about $15. I It sounds to me that the outfit you are dealing with is looking for individual gaskets, not complete kits. I know that is how they are seperated on the computers at work. It fits most 6 bangers from the mid 60s all the way to 1990.

If possible I would look elsewhere.

I just thought I could help.  I know what it is like searching for parts. I am currently looking for 9inch drums for the back of my Hornet. I cant get them at CarQuest.

Good luck. I hope I could help                      Luke

Charlie, what did they send you? I really find this hard to understand
how they can get a commom part wrong. What part numbers have you
ordered so far that have been wrong? Bob in MN.

Hey Bob,

 As I've admitted many times, I am a social worker, not a mechanic. I'll try to explain this the best I can -- you'll have to tell me if it makes sense.

They keep sending me a part marked "Intake Manifold Set," part number 23643G made by Corteco.It is a single round donut.

If I am reading my AMC repair manual correctly, I need what they describe as the "Intake Manifold Gasket" that sits between the intake and exhaust manifolds. (They were made of steel clad asbestos back then. Has six holes, obviously -- one for each cylinder.) Does this make sense? I've tried to explain this to 3 different parts dealers and all keep sending me the same damn thing!!

Charlie
