1935 Packard Super 8 model 1203
Appreciate some assistance on where to locate intake and exhaust manifold gaskets. I have Googled this request with none showing availability. Thanks for your help. Ernie (GI Joe)

Have you tried Olson's Gaskets in Washington State?

Here ya go

With Packard parts it's usually best to find a good vendor by searching, then see if they carry Packard, than to do a direct search.

Unless it's something totally obscure that won't come up in a simple search, I like people to do their own footwork! Anyway, thank you for adding the link.

As for Olson's, on gaskets like this, they get them from a major manufacturer (called Best) that does not sell to anyone other than authorized dealers which is probably the same place that the other parts dealers get them. For other gaskets, Olson's has or can make from your pattern anything you need from most any material. I had some leather gaskets made once and supplied the material per the factory blueprint but otherwise their supply is extensive.

G'day GIJOE, to PackardInfo.

Have you tried Kanters or Merritt? The two major sources of Packard parts.

Also, I invite you to include your '35 Super 8 1203 in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry,

I have a purchased and received a total gasket set from Max Merritt for my 1935 std 8 1202. It was missing only a few gaskets that I had to make. Example, I had to make the gaskets for the oil cooler and oil lines for the filter assembly. I do admit that the set was old and 2 gaskets had shrunk, for example the oil pan and the water jacket cover on the driver's side. Good luck!

+1 for Olsons Gaskets

I just ordered a full engine gasket set (instead of just a few that I need now - it's only money) for my 34 1104 Super Eight. The set came in a few days and all gaskets appear fresh and new.
