Use the sediment bowl as a template and cut a new one from any suitable piece of gasket material with an X-Acto knife. Originals were probably made from rubberized cork, but any kind of gasoline resistant gasket material should work. Jerry

Then and Now Automotive will sell real cork ones to you. I have rubber on the Cadillacs and cork on the AD. The cork seals up a lot easier than the rubber.
Just a note that it isn't a sediment bowl but rather just a glass cover (as referred to by GM). It does not catch or trap sediment due to the nature of the design. The fuel creates too much turbulence as it flows through for any solids to remain trapped in the bowl. All solids get trapped in the fiber element.

FWIW, I think Fel Pro 5019 is what you are looking for. It's the rubberized cork gasket normally associated with the glass bowl. I couldn't find anything like a neoprene gasket that looks like what you pictured. Perhaps another Bolter knows of such a part number???

Timm1960, are you looking for the gasket for the glass top AC fuel filter or the the glass top fuel pump?
New rubber seals come in the box with new filter elements.

Mine seems to work as a sediment bowl, looks pretty original to the 283, 2 bbl Rochester. It is an AC brand and I use the paper filter/spring and it does collect some fine sediment.
