Wow!!! It's like the calvary just came over the hill. I really appreciate all the input. To answer some questions, The block vin matches the car vin 5587-4098. As far as I know the car was purchased in CA and it did not have a block heater when I got it. The old gasket had no P/N markings that I could find, the new one is from an engine overhaul gasket set I purchased from Kanter's last year and it has a mfg P/n of Best 719 on the gasket. The engine has been overhauled prior to my purchase. I can tell because the pistons are stamped .030 on top.
