The gasket goes in the category of repro fixes to problems that don't exist -- until you add it. Like distributor wireless plates!
do you think this fix emerged before we had repro mufflers with the correct flange on them? Also did the wireless plate emerge before we had the knowledge or availability of the correct stranded wire?


I have been wondering what people think of the "improved" repro muffler clamp that is threaded on the engine side, obviating the need for nuts and supposedly making for an easier installation.
