When you buy gaskets from whom ever, except for pan and head make a copy on your copy machine then you can make your own when you only need one or a few over a weekend.
 
good idea - thanks
 
Better yet, scan them to a pdf and put them in the wiki.
 
Trevor, that is an excellent idea but think is beyond my capability.
 
And buy GOOD QUALITY GASKETS !!!!

My cheapy regualr supplier gaskets leaked w/o the motor even running and 2oz. of oil in the engine.
 
If it leaks anywhere but the rear non-seal scroll seal it is wrong.
 
Only the rear oil seal should leak a drip. nothing else on engine or tranny should.
 
The very first year I had the car, it sat over the winter and the oil leaked out of the transmission???? Is this a common occurrence? The trans. was then sent to a rebuild co in Georgia (Vinco) that gave me a shorter first gear, and less on the top end.
 
It is not normal for the tranny to leak at all. Just a few gaskets and decent sealing on the front and rear with oil inside minimial. Just shy of a quart.
 
Hey; really, what terminal do I feed on the coil for power?
and how do I test the coil to see if its working?
 
You need to start a new thread with a subject related to the question so that people that can help know to read it.
