Karl -
There definitely should have been a gasket with your new one. But then
again, I've made a lot these gaskets with an X-Acto knife. I also smear
the new gasket lightly with gasket cement. ' Wish I had a solution for
that bottom bolt - just struggle with a 7/16" end wrench. If I remember
right, it helps to remove dizzy cap and rotor - ' gives you a little more
room to work.
