Product Details

Fel-Pro 8988 is an engine intake to exhaust gasket for vintage Chevrolet and Pontiac engines that require a sealed connection between the intake and exhaust manifold surfaces. Fel-Pro uses materials selected for the application to help maintain sealing integrity under heat and load, which is important for drivability, exhaust control, and manifold sealing on 1950-1962 Chevrolet Bel Air and Impala applications, as well as 1953-1955 Chevrolet Corvette and 1959-1960 Chevrolet El Camino models. This part number 8988 is also listed for 1955-1962 Pontiac Laurentian and 1959-1962 Pontiac Parisienne.

This part cross-references Bosch 18060 for the same application.
