Which Intake Gasket?

Does anyone know which of these is the right one for my car?

RE: Which Intake Gasket?

if both of those numbers came back for your specific year/make/model then the 2nd option will fine.

Since you are ordering gaskets then you'll need to pull the intake anyway and look in there. If you see metal pushrod guideplates on the heads, the 2nd design will not work and you'll have to go with the 1st.

Usually the 2nd design is also for the larger port 3100/3400 which has different port spacing.. but thats the reason I wonder if it listed for your specific year, maybe they went back and updated all the older 3100 gaskets as well.

The second design *should* be for your 96. 95 was the chageover year.

But in any case if you do end up having the old design it is not a problem. You can cut the plastic pushrod guides off of the gasket.
