1958 F.W.D. Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Olsons is expensive, check other outlets first. John is a good source, so is Cal Little for the gaskets and Harvey Eckert for the filter.

Firemack Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Olsons is usually reasonably priced. I have used them several times and recommend them highly. Randy's 3 kids are eating up his gasket budget! The Oil filter is no longer available, the best fit is a Napa 1503.Firemack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27224-707b-exhaust-manifold-gaskets/#findComment-137178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958 F.W.D. Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Randy's 3 kids are eating up his gasket budget!S.W.M.B.O. has this thing about being able to buy groceries and making the mortgage, car and utility bill payments on time; she can be really annoying like that. We dont have the ubiquetious Wayne Money Trees here in Hellertown. I called him one time for a full overhaul gasket set for the Thunder Pumpkin and nearly dropped the phone when he told me the price. Thank god I found one from the (former Maxim shop) up in Mass, he sold me one for $125 and threw in an extra head set for free.
