223 in my '62 f-100
hello all,
long story short I ordered a felpro intake/exhaust manifold gasket set for my 62 f100 with a 223 and when I got it the "hot spot" gasket between the intake and exhaust manifolds is not the right one. the gasket in the kit has the right shape until you get to the edge towards the head and the gasket continues about an inch and a half further than where I need it to go for my manifolds... i went to NAPA and nobody down there (the guy down there has been there longer than i've been alive) could figure it out, it seems like all 223s use the same gasket set. we did dig out the old victor gasket catalogs (again, older than me) and we found a differing gasket set for a 56-59 223 with the gasket set number being: Victor MS9996.
can anyone help?
thanks!
