I got some input on this too... LOL
An old trick my hot rod buddies use. If you need to keep track of hard
to find gaskets... photo copy them. As long as the scaling is at 100%,
it will come out as a perfect B/W copy. Well, saves time in drawing, at
least. You all have photo copiers in your garage, right? HAHAHAHAHA.
My 2 cents

Got some more stuff put back on the motor today. Distributor, water
pump,
timing chain, oil pan. I thought I was being real smart and ordered some
replacement gaskets for the stuff I took off. Problem was, I didn't
remember
everything I took off! Fortunately, I had traced an outline of all the
gaskets I put in a few years ago while they were still new. Dug up the
notebook, traced out the MIAs in gasket material and cut them out. Don't
know if I would do this every time I replace something since it is a
pain in
the butt. Making a pattern of all the gaskets did make it possible for
me to
keep working today and I'm grateful for that.
Also got a list of things I need to purchase for the transmission. Turns
out
the damage may not be as serious as I feared. Will keep my fingers
crossed.
