Good morning,
I am putting my new 440 together and I couldn't find a gasket for the oil pump.
I believe I ran into this before. This is using the typical Fel-Pro kit which is 2110 I think. It has every gasket I have needed so far, including the oil pump O ring.
But no base gasket between the pump body and the block?
They do use one, correct?

I figured that would be the trick. It seems strange that it is not in the kit. Definately not in there.....think Rainman repeating..... Anyways, aside from the strange humor here I will do some checking. I'd like to get it online since I am 50 miles from town and the local parts store stink Maybe I can get it at Summit. Thanks, just as I suspected. ROB

I found them at Mancini, thank you. I will try and find it local at Napa.
The main store I shop at was of no use. Even Summit didn't have the kit....
I'll post up when I find the number.
Back in bit.....

Hughes has them too.
Napa does not. The guy there says that they sell the o ring but not the gasket. He says the only time he sees the gasket is when you buy the oil pump.
So.......I will see what I can come up with. It is more of a time thing, not $.
I will call another parts house or two.

Wow, the generosity of this site is pretty incredible. I have no idea why they don't include one in the kit. It has everything else but no gasket for the OP? Strange..... I did end up calling everyone in town, including the dealer. No one had it, and the dealer did not return my call. I am going to make one, and the next time I order some parts online I will get a stack of them. It is the weird little stuff that gets you. The story on the build of my car is long. But I have my nieces coming in two weeks and I want to take them for a spin in a loud muscle car. That is something that will leave an impression. I am a shop teacher and I can tell you that todays kids don't really relate to the old stuff. They like it, but don't really "get it". It is a mild 440 with a 3" exhaust and 4.10's in an A body. Should be memorable for them and me. I have never driven anything really close to a "hot rod". If you count a 289 with 3.50 gears a hot rod Thank you so much. ROB

My McCord kits have always had them included.
Clean it, if it's Dirty. Oil it, if it Squeaks.
But: Don't fix it, if it Works!

I think it is the Fel Pro kit # 2110 that is the culprit.
Maybe I should look at the McCord next time.
It is really weird that it is not in there......
