I have one of the one piece gaskets on mine too. It worked great but I forgot the 350 that I have is out of a 78 so it takes the thick front gasket and I bought the thin style. So it leaks around the timing cover, but that's not its fault its mine! I bought another but haven't had time to put it on. Don't use any sealant except for small dabs at the corners of the timing cover and rear main otherwise you won't be able to reuse it next time.
