exhaust gasket - manifold to tailpipe
 

Anyone know of a source for the gasket for the manifold to tailpipe flange.It seems as tho it should be easy to locate but I can't find 'em. Help-Bill

The ones for the 8BA and 8CM pipe to manifold should be available through NAPA. The part number is for the old L-6 engine 1GA-9450 but will fit most 8BA/8CM types. The cross over pipe gaskets are a different part number.

The 18-9448-A for 32 to 48 cars should be available in the exhaust manifold gasket sets 18-9433 that are available through Macs, C&G, Carpenter's, Van Pelts, or any number of other early Ford V8 parts vendors. Best gasket sets should also have them in their sets.

Sorry,I didn't make it clear! I've put duels on my '41 and it's actually the cross over gaskets I need. The duels replace the cross over. At least till I get a set of Rod's manifolds!

Forgot to say ''thanks" Kerby! also-do you happen to have the no's for the crossover gasket? Thanks again--Bill :o

#256-729 Bosal or Victor fits. The number crosses to Saab 900 and '70 & '80 fords. The 2 bolt holes are 7/16" centered on 3" Center hole is 1 3/4" with a steel fire ring.

The original P/N for the later crossover gaskets is the same as the older pipe to manifold gasket 18-9448-A. Some of the mercury models used a copper and asbestos gasket that was a different part number but was the same size. I think they discontinued those a few years after production stopped on the flatheads in favor of the old part number which is more of a composition gasket with a metal wafer inside.

I had a little trouble finding them for a 51 Mercury crossover & heat riser valve until I found that the old types would work even though not original. We just have to use what we can find these days.
