heater box insulation
I'm replacing the heater core on my 1966 Olds Ninety Eight. It had a felt-like insulation between it and the firewall, that's all soaked in coolant, and a bit torn up now. What do you use as a replacement? Can't seem to find the same thing from any of my usual sources (USA Parts Supply, Fusick, Year One)???

Tried Piston Ring and a performance shop, both said part is discontinued. That self-made gasket stuff is so different from what was originally there, I'm just not sure. It was a thick felt-like pad that covered almost the entire heater box. 99% sure it was original. I see Year One offers a "heater to firewall seal" for a 1960s Cutlass, described as a "white rope caulk sealant" that comes in a 30-foot roll. That sound usable, or is there something else out there I haven't been able to find?
