Gasket paper, a good sharp xacto knife and 5 minute of time and you have one made!
I have a compass that I made a sharp tip for and this is what I use to make gaskets that need to be round like this. It scribes out two nice circles that I then complete cutting out with the Xacto knife. You might find a good oil resistant .060" O ring that will be close to a drop in. Don't be one of those folks who spend 6 hours on line when for 15 bucks and 5 minutes you can make it yourself!

^^^This I like correct parts as much as the next guy, but worrying about a correct distributor gasket is a bit extreme. No one sees it.....ever. I had one recently tear during a cam swap. I didn't have a spare on the wall, so I made one out of gasket paper in about 60 seconds and cost me nothing. Trying to run to the store or even mail ordering a simple distributor gasket and waiting days proves to be a useless proposition around here and a lot of time wasted. I've had the same sheet of gasket paper in the shop for 30 years just for occasions like this. |
