I am having a hard time finding a gasket for a 1970 12 bolt rear end cover. the ones the auto parts stores give me don't match the bolt pattern. The yearone gasket doesn't look like the original. Help ?

 

Just use RTV. I used Permatex Ultra-Grey on my cover and it works like a champ. Ensure both sides are really clean and free of gear oil and you should be good to go.

Don't go in and ask for a 12 bolt cover gasket. They all think they are all the same (chevy), but of course we know they are mistaken.

Here ya go.

car quest got me the right one. all the others did what your part stores did. most people just use RTV but i like to use the gasket. fusick has the right gasket also.

I smear a little rtv on both sides,for extra insurance.If I don't have the gasket,I just use more rtv.They make the original black style,like what is pictured,and some places also sell a tan paper style.The black ones are a little thicker,and will work better with or without rtv. The tan ones are thinner,and I would suggest using rtv with them.
