[DeTomaso] Stock Exhaust question

[Dave]

BIG BORE GASKETS:

Big Bore exhaust to header.

NAPA part number 31 381 about $9.00 ea.

Gasket has about a ¼" steel ring (inside of the "donut") that extends out of one side of the donut. Works well.

take your old donut down to NAPA/O'Reilly's/whatever and start wading through their stock.
