Cokekid Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I decided to take a break from what I was doing and started to read the new issue "The Way of the Zephyr" I noticed there was a article about a hole in the intake manifold. I then went and got my Manifold and gaskets. While inspecting the gasket I laid it down on the Manifold and to my surprise the holes didn't line up. I then went and got another gasket and it was the same problem. I had bought complete sets from Earle Brown Jr. One set was a few years ago and the other set was bought at the last Hersey meet. Here are two photos of both gaskets on top of the bottom of the Manifold. The Orange Markers are in the holes of the Gasket and the Violet Markers are in the holes. Left side Yellow Markers are in the holes. Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abelincoln Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I found that there was no hole for the crankcase vent tube that goes to the air cleaner in my intake gasket. Guess it pays to check. The important holes are the ones for the manifold bolts. Abe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cokekid Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 Abe I also could not find any hole. I am glad that I was looking, as I found a problem with the gasket, I now have to make some phone calls to buy a gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19tom40 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I don't know if the Fel Pro gaskets are still available for the V12, but I would check with your local parts house. It makes for an easier return if they are not correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cokekid Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 Tom, As far as I know there are no parts house's up here were I live. Markham Ontario Canada. Just outside Toronto. If any Canadian member knows of a place let me know. I will probably have to order one from Boos at a cost of CDN $48.00 plus shipping.

19tom40 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I am not talking about part stores that only handle antique car parts, I am talking about places like Autozone, that handle all types of parts. If the FelPro gasket is still available, they can order it from the warehouse. Here is a link to the AutoZone website with the P/N of the FelPro intake gasket. https://www.autozone.com/external-engine/intake-manifold-gasket/lincoln/zephyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Spong Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I think that you have it on back to front and perhaps upside down. If I remember correctly the "open" part of the gasket fits to the rear to clear the fuel pump push rod. Give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cokekid Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Tom, I only wish we had AutoZone up herein Canada but we don't. When ever I visit the USA that's the first store I head to. All are parts store do not have this part Colin, I thought I had tried every which way to get it to fit but gave up. After reading you reply I went back and I can't no believe it but by moving it around as you suggested It now fits. Thanks to all for answering my post.
