Gene says that the part number change was an error, and that they are going back to the old part number. 12594171

I found a pair of 12594171 in stock at a dealer and ordered them. Hopefully, they will have the D port.

Got my 12594171 gaskets today, and they have the correct D port. They had them in stock at Scoggin-Dickey if anybody still needs a set.

This has been a real wild goose chase!!!

I ended up returning the four gaskets that I had purchased from Gene... then I went on a 'local' search (probably what I should have done in the first place).

Anyway, today, at the Lone Star Corvette Challenge at Texas Motor Speedway, I spoke with the guys from LG Motorsports. They have the 'right ones' in stock. Since I am planning on having LG do my install, I'm going to forget about the great-gasket-chase and just get LG to provide them when they do the install.

<<<sigh>>>

Glad to hear your gasket adventure has come to an end!

I am going to be on the search for the correct ones too soon, so I appreciate all the leg work everyone has done on this issue.
