Re: Ugly Betsy.
I decided to drop the junk chrome oil pan after two attempts of sealing it. I decided of a re useable one piece gasket from Summit. I'm just waiting for the new polished alum pan. Yippie.

Re: Ugly Betsy.
I tried using one of those one piece gaskets on my '79 Camaro's 350. After taking all the time to use a torque wrench on all of the pan bolts, that thing would leave an oil ring in the shape of the oild pan on the ground after 45 minutes of being parked. After fighting with it a few times, I finally yanked it out and went back to cork and haven't had a leak since. I really do hope you have better luck with yours.
Cool pickup by the way. Last edited by fryer1979; 06-09-2010 at 10:48 PM. |

I hope it works out too. The cork/rubber thing did not work out very well for me. I rest most of the blame on the chrome pan. I made sure the new pan requires a thin front rubber seal before I bought the gasket. Keep your fingers crossed!!
