Not for lack of looking, but can someone post the FelPro part number for the one piece oil pan gasket that works better on the older (ribbed rail) oil pans? I’ve read several posts discussing this issue, but none (that I’ve read yet) say which FelPro part number to use for the two pans (ribbed or flat flange).
Like many folks on here I have a 65 mustang that a previous owner put a later model (91-94) ford remanufactured 302 into. This engine either came with (doubtful) or a previous owner installed (more likely) a chrome oil pan that has the ribbed rails and ends. See attached pic.
Some people say they have installed the FelPro one piece baskets on their “older style” (meaning ribbed) pans and had no leaks, while others say they leak like crazy. But what none of them have said is which FelPro gasket number they used? The other folks post and state that FelPro makes a one piece for the older style (ribbed) oil pans, but then they don’t post the FelPro part number.
I bought a FelPro gasket p/n OS13260T from Summit Racing
Link to Summit page, sadly I bought it before I had fully researched this issue (bad on me), so I may have the incorrect gasket for my pan.
Before I go and waste this gasket, can someone please post which FelPro one piece (rubber over steel) gasket I should be using with this oil pan?
Nothing more frustrating than chasing an oil leak, so I’d like to get this right the first time. Totally not opposed to buying a late model (flat flange) oil pan also.
Thanks in advance for any insight and help you guys can provide.
