1fast94SVT I found this for you even though its not really for your application. For the new gaskets you can go to www.mrgasket.com. if you are going to do it yourself, use this 6cylinder motor manual to guide you: http://www.v6power.net/articles/gasket1.htm

i would have used a sharpie marker to mark the distributor position before you took it out.

its gonna be hard to keep the tune that you had, since some things will likely be changed like compression with new head gaskets if you dont use the same one. but im not 100 % sure on that
