Can you get them at O'Reiley's. I went to autozone today (only one in town open 24 hrs and on sunday) and they did not have the distributor gasket listed in their computer (Im not too fond of them either, their quite a bunch of idiots here). Anyone know the part #?

 

It won't be in the computer. It's a 1" Inside Diameter O-Ring. Pep Boys has it. The thickness I think is 1/4", I don't have the package on my desk...

Here's the thread I posted a couple years ago. All the info you need.

Thanks a lot.

 

When ya go there also obtain a SMALL BLOCK CHEVY DISTRIBUTOR GASKET (6 cylinder or eight, it doesn't matter).
Slip that SBChevy distributor onto the base of the 60* distb.
Use a FILM OF BLACK RTV both sides of gasket & absolutely ZERO LEAKS!
For an extra dollar, ya can't go wrong!
Make sure ya clean the INSIDE of the distributor hole in the manifold/engine. Let project air dry overnight & reassemble, and let cure for an extra day/night.
I've done this twice & it's the sure cure!

 

They probably don't even know what an o-ring is. I hate "chain" parts stores with a passion.

 

Actually, pep-boys didn't have it. I checked out O'Reiley's and they had it. Just replaced it and happy to say no more leaks in my vehicle. Now its back to the idle problem. Dunno, but my O'Reiley is filled with ex-mechanics so most of them actually have half a brain. Autozone here is pretty bad, bunch of idiots.

 

dealership has em. buy at least 3 for the hell of it they are cheap and thicker than the one you find at parts stores also different color. Buy a dist gasket for sb 350 chev, put non-hardning silcone on that. no leaky ever eh.
