Is this a fresh rebuild? The correct gasket is the larger one. You can tell by
setting it on the pump. I recently had a similar situation with a rebuild. In
my case the machine shop removed all the brass plugs to boil out the block and
replaced all but one! The one right by the oil bypass return hole. We pulled
the pan in the car. It was a bit of work but it can be done. I wanted to
remove
the engine but Chuck, the owner, Said he could get the pan off in the car.
Carbs
where removed, Exhaust was taken loose, Motor mounts taken loose and engine was
jacked up. I remember the three front pan bolts being a real bear to get a
wrench on them. This was on a 67.
