Our local shops and the dealer say they can not get a valve cover gasket for a stcok 1974 motor. Does anyone know of any sources?

This is available from several sources online. I use http://www.rockauto.com quite a bit. Here is the part number they list for your application:

FEL-PRO Part # VS50165A (includes side cover gasket)

Current price on this is $4.25

http://www.napaonline.com also has an online source, add FPG (Fel Pro Gasket) to the same PN above. Their cost is $6.49.

Good luck, there are lots of reputable sources out there. NAPA is nice becuase you can order it online and pick it up at the nearest store. I think Autozone does the same thing, but I'm not a fan of their gaskets...

Soo, rocker Cover, same Thing as a valve cover right, just a funky english(british) translation, or is there some specific thing that makes this a rocker cover???

I ended up getting the set locally. The large main gasket is very straight but the Rocker/Valve cover has a sig sag for looks like the head bolts. I'll assume that the Felpro product VS50165 will work. Any suggestions are welcome. The cover leaks pretty bad.
