Threw away all gaskets when dissassemble. how do you know if its thick or thin for your application. its an 010 350. i think 1979 but have to double check date code on front.

depends on the oil pan you have.. if its a pre 1974 (i think thats the date) its a thin... post 1974 is a thick seal...

a 79 would be a thick seal

suffix is TYZ, a 1975, so with an aftermarket pan?

Almost all aftermarket pans use the thick seal
