Cometic's only come configured for the open chamber heads and cylinder chamfers. You can't use them on 67 and older engines, already been down that road. I have a factory style, steel layer gasket for a 326 at work, I will look to see if it has a brand or part # on it.
Any luck finding that part number of the head gasket that you mentioned? The Victor Reinz sounds like it's the right gasket but difficult to find any. The ones I found were Part#95-3397vr which is the complete engine gasket set. I only need the head gasket. Is this part what you had found in that 326 you have at work?
Thanks
