I also got a 160 thermostat and they sent it without a gasket Am I to believe that there is no gasket between the thermostat housing and intake manifold

Yes there is a gasket but I've never got one with a tstat.Go over to Arts corvette parts and pick one up.

I have my 86 set at 40 psi vac connected with a adjustable FPR. There is no gasket around the t-stat in the L98 like there is on the LT1. There is a gasket that fits the shape of the t-stat housing thou.
