V6 water pump gasket
I have done a serpentine belt conversion on my 455 using a v6 Oldsmobile water pump.
i am having trouble finding a water pump gasket. Anyone know where I might be able to get one of these gaskets ?

Look again, that is NOT a 260 diesel, which didn't exist in 1979. That's a 260 gas engine and those are the same water pump gaskets as on every Olds V8. They will NOT work with the reverse rotation V6 diesel pump. The V6 diesel was only made in the 1982-84 model years. RockAuto does not list any water pump gaskets for that application, and apparently FelPro no longer lists it either. Your options are to either cut your own from gasket stock or use RTV.
