This seller is knowledgeable enough to know better. He is selling this current reproduction part as NOS and it isn't. In addition to the Pentastar and the Chrysler part# all NOS examples have another stamping that contains the McCord Gasket company initials and part#, the reproductions (like this one) doesn't have it. 340 Exhaust gasket on ebay

good call Scott
they have also made 340 heat riser repair kits and had red white and blue mopar parts labels made that they put on the boxes they sold them in. I've run across many of those throughout the years and they all came from brads nos
Tony - any opinion on the quality of the heat riser repair kit? Are they worth the $225 they are asking for them? I need to order one, this is why I'm asking.

Scott , Just wondering if you or someone else has contacted this vendor with the details showing that this part is a reproduction and not an nos part. It would give the vendor the opportunity to rectify the claims to the Mopar community and change the advertising to a more accurate description of the part. Just looking at both sides.

That's a good one Tom , I doubt they will even care , there are many rubes on ebay that will buy them .

Scott turned me on the the Repro. Exhaust gasket and that you can even get blems for 1/2 the price. I bought a Blem. on E-Bay and even was able to get it cheaper due to the seller having a "make offer" type auction. If you get that close to my gasket to read those #'s your gunna get burned!!!!!
