Default 326 Oil pump gasket?

Hello, I am new to Pontiac's, but have been building Honda/Acuras for 20 years so engines are not new to me.
I am rebuilding a 65 Tempest Custom 326 and as I am installing the oil pump I looked through the gasket set and cannot find anything that looks like a oil pump gasket. So, I looked at the list of gaskets and did not find it listed.

What's up do I use some kind of sealant or?

Skip the 2-bolt Oil pump gasket and simply spread a thin film of Silicone RTV, tighten to torque set.

Default Pump Gasket..

Use a gasket, i install them dry. If you buy a new oil pump a gasket should be in the box but it may be all torn up from the pump moving around in the box. I enclosed my e-mail address, send me your name and address and i will get a couple of the gaskets in the mail to you, the gaskets are on me as i have a few here. Also welcome to the PY board. My e-mail is, [email protected]

No problem, gaskets are on the way to you. You are new to the Pontiac engine and that is fine. If you have a question about a Pontiac you will get the info you need on this board.
