Thick or thin front seal?
What did 74 L-48 engine have for front seal? I am looking to purchase a 1-piece oil pan gasket, and don't know which one to order. FEL-OS34509T or FEL-OS34510T. What does "thick" mean? Any dimension?
Anyone know which one came on 74s?

This might help. With the original oil pan for 74 you have the early style gasket. I believe the 75 and up factory pan as well as ANY year model replacement pan made by GM in the last few years uses the later style gasket kit. I have more details at home but it might be a while till I get there.

I order one of those one piece oil pan gaskets from Scoggin-Dickey. The one they sent me was pretty nice, but it had the larger seal which does not fit my 79(inbetween pan and timing cover). So now my $25.00 gasket is useless to me...Tony
