Thanks Jim. I went back & read several previous threads concerning this issue. One other person had the same issue after his car sat for two yrs. I have several new modern gaskets on hand & three new copper ones. I may go back to copper I have one that has part # 6051 & doesn't have the steam holes in it. This should be OK with holes filled. Checked my Ford parts book for correct #'s. A 6051-A = head gasket pass. & comm. 28-31, B 6051-A = head gasket pass. & comm. 32-34. Ironically it then says A 6051-A is replaced by B-6051-A. This would indicates Ford OKed the use of a B gasket on a Model A. Which s/b OK.
