Oil Pan Trouble

I have a 1986 IROC-z and it has a 305 Tbi. Heres my trouble...The block was replaced in 1992 (bought from Gm so its a replacement block). My oil pan gasket blew out and I need a new one but cant find it ANYWHERE. It's a double sided dipstick motor so the gasket has to have two openings. Please Help ASAP!!! Thanks Luke

Does the pan you are using have provision for 2 dipsticks?

The dipstick hole in the block only needs sealing if it fits to a bulge in the pan for the dipstick.
If no bulge there , then there is nothing to seal; hole in block goes nowhere
Gasket will seal pan to block on the side where no dipstick provision in pan
