Cheapest list price place is J.C.Whitney
But you can make one in ten min with gasket cork and a razor blade...just trace the outside on the mat and cut
Most parts places still have cork and paper gasket
rolls you just might have to ask
Best thing is when your done you'll never be stuck for where to get another | | |

235s Well 235's are a lot shorter car motor...not much fits you GMC
Every once in awhile some fool will tell me about the 216 he had with a GMC crank.'What did you do with the part hangin' out the end?'My Question!
Make a gasket! If you messup a couple times you will learn.
In my shop there's a torch,mill,saw,if I can't get it I make it or make something work.I have hammers
Need a fender? I make it!
It's a nice feeling to make stuff
There was a time when the word mechanic has nothing to do with Service Advisor,or Parts Replacer
You make a couple gaskets and no one will ever again tell you "You have to buy em" Again!! | | |

Jim is right about making the valve cover gasket. It is an easy one to cut, there are no holes to punch.
