Factory installed fuel pump gasket 1969 396

[daveg]

Wondering what thoughts are on this.

Pic is "NCRS" supposedly approved gaskets.

We always thought the factory installed gaskets were a lighter colored layered paperish material like pan side rails?
The stuff that was a pain to get off.

These replacements are nothing like that.

Pic of "OLE BLUE"'s pump with gasket still attached will not load???

Anyone have a proper one?

[daveg]

Found some. Still looking for thoughts on this.

Screenshots do not catch color difference well.
Looking forward to checking material.
Probably have enough of these now:confused2:

Found other pics showing gasket on pump.

Great eye for detail Dave!

Great eye for detail Dave!

That and finding stuff is the most fun to me.

She [and probably others] think I'm nuts but I am not hurting anyone.
Steve called me a "cotter pin nut" but he tolerated it.

That said I am really curious about the material.
Some should remember taking an oil pan off a BB that had never been removed before and the odd gasket material on side rails.
Same stuff.

Car stuff is entry level compared to high end coins- guns and I have some of both.

Her "OLE BLUE" was so close already that we are trying to bring it as far back as possible to how it was on 2/26/69 when Gerald picked it up.

The jury is still out on the Dill 627 case but is looking OK.

If these gaskets pass muster, we do not need that many so.....

False alarm.
These are probably older but are not the ones I am looking for.
Wishful thinking.

Still looking for these and any input on this.
The factory pan rail gaskets are an excellent example of the odd material.

Looking for those also.

Thanks
Dave

Crashing and burning seems to get me motivated.

Found said gasket examples in first 5 pics.
Bought 4 of these items. The gasket on "ole blues" pump had some ink stuff like the one.
These- like pan rail gaskets from this time peeled off almost hairy looking. Some must remember that part.

Interesting one is the Jan 1970 SB pump in pristine NOS condition. Do not need pump but am keeping the gasket.
Other pumps are generic and dated 67- 69.

Pic 6 looks to be the older version
Pic 7 seems to be the newer version.

First ones in hand.
They do indeed have "GM" stamped in them.

She thinks I'm nuts but this minutia is fun to me.

Now to find an old pan set:biggthumpup:

Some better pics of markings

[ban617]

Those ink marks your referring to ,were probably the manufacturer of the gasket material & possibly the thickness..

You are likely right and pan rail gaskets are like this also.

No luck so far on finding any but the hunt is on.

[daveg]

Getting closer.
The FP gaskets with "GM" and "Q" have 3/8" holes.
The ones with 5/16" holes have "GM" and "8".

This is obviously a very small database.

Timing cover gasket is same stuff.

Still looking for pan gaskets like this.

Love the work you are doing here Dave:headbang:

Looks kind of like Vellumoid gasket material. We used to die cut many of those gaskets a million years ago. All of the dies are long gone though. Might give those guys a call.

She thinks I am a bit wacko but this digging for stuff- info is fun.

Some must remember the pain with getting pan rails clean if you were the first person to remove a 69 396 oil pan.

Same on the silver valve cover gaskets.
They ended up in a jillion chunks everywhere.

Then you put the rubber ones in and of course leaked.

Wire wheel on the bench grinder is your friend...

Done this at least a thousand times beating warranty flat-rate in the dealership a million years ago. :beers:

Can put this search to bed now.
Thanks all
