This is an old subject, the anti seize. As I wrote a year or so ago, Champion, for one, has an anti seize compound on their plugs & no other compound should be used. Grease, I'm sure would be fine. C

As I said, My shop manual is silent regards gaskets. This manual is part # AKM 3616B copyright 1981. The parts manual is part # RTC9852CA dated January 1980. Since it shows the gasket as #GEG692, man

1964 Olds was not a 215 engine, bell housing was not the same. I have no idea if the clutch fork boot was the same, but would not necessarily make that assumption. Jim Stuart

Lots of us have been doing just that thing for years, stuffing the lot into a MGB. The only caveat is that the bell housing must be for a 4 speed or 3/4 speed combination bell housing from either a

What are you trying to accomplish? If you just want a short pump, but one for a Buick 300 V8, 1964-67. It mat need an adapter to use the Rover pulley, but other pulleys are available. Jim Stuart

They are interchangeable, but the timing marks are different, so you have to cut a new groove in the balancer, or put different marks on the cover. A real plus is that the V6 timing cover uses a neop
