Maybe it's 9906, maybe 9066.

I assume you are referring to a head with the 8-bolt vertical mounting pattern.

Felpro has given this perforated silver/black gasket a crappy part number.

If you hold it upright, as it would be mounted on the engine, the number is 9066.

The pisser is that 3" to the right is an upside-down "R1" imprint, made just like the part number. Makes ya wanna flip the gasket upside down to read the 9906 part number.

I think the thin steel gaskets are mean't to be installed without sealer between the head and the exhaust manifold. They were used on the production line. I don't think they work very well unless it's either a new motor, or the exhaust manifold had been freshly milled flat. Heck, sometimes Felpro silver/black crushable gaskets don't seal well on unmilled log-type exhaust manifolds, either.

Hope this helps.

Shoe.
