According to the xref, the 55-56 Napa filter is a 1006. Dimensions given for the gasket that comes with that filter is: ID 4.3"; OD 4.736"; and a thickness of .072. A quick measure of a filter gasket I have with a new filter would agree.

Napa has the single round gaskets in many sizes but I don't see the exact one in the size mentioned as accompanying the filter. Another question would be if the local store would have something close in stock. If not and the freight to have it shipped is higher than the cost of a new complete filter it might be money ahead to just buy a new filter. With care the gasket that comes with that one might be reusable again for the next change and you could use the extra filter at that time.
