1947 hydra-matic torus to flywheel gasket
I’ve started the process of swapping the engine in my 47 oldsmobile with another 238 olds flat 6. And found out the hydra Matic is a pain. I need a gasket for my torus to flywheel it has 30 bolts with 2 dowl pins. I’ve looked online and some company’s gaskets start in 1948 would that work. Any info would help.
Thanks, Derek

And 48 thru 50 as #8611284 .
If Fatsco can't supply, you might try googling David Edwards in Needham , MA .
He also has a good supply of early Hydra-Matic parts .

Or if all else fails make one out of gasket material. It would take a little time but should be doable.
I could be wrong but isn't that gasket made of a very thin onion skin material?.... Tedd
