Detailed Product Information

Mahle 72216 is a distributor mounting gasket used to seal the distributor base and help maintain a secure interface between the distributor and engine housing. Mahle gaskets are trusted by OEMs and technicians for sealing consistency, and this part follows that standard with nitrile construction suited to ignition sealing demands. It is a practical choice for service work on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Astro, Chevrolet S10, GMC Safari, and Pontiac Fiero, where a proper distributor seal is important for clean operation.

This part cross-references FEL-PRO 421 for the same application. The Mahle 72216 also serves fitments across Buick Century, Chevrolet Camaro, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, and Pontiac 6000 applications, making it a useful replacement when restoring or maintaining older ignition systems.

What This Part Helps Address

  • Oil seepage around the distributor base
  • Loss of sealing at the distributor mounting surface
  • Service replacement for worn or flattened distributor gaskets
  • Maintenance on ignition systems with O-ring style sealing
  • Fitment needs for GM cars and trucks with distributor-mounted ignition components

Installation Notes and Tips

Clean the distributor mounting surface thoroughly before installation so the gasket can seat evenly. Verify the distributor base style and dimensions against the listed O-ring type notes, including the 1-1/8 in x 1-3/8 in x 1/8 in specification shown in fitment data. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, and model before service.
