Distributor Mounting Gasket for OE-Style Sealing

The Mahle 72222 distributor mounting gasket is an OEM-standard sealing solution built with molded rubber for a precise distributor-to-engine seal. It is used on a wide range of Mazda Miata, Mazda Protege, and Ford Escort applications, along with other compatible vehicles that use an O-ring style distributor seal.

Mahle gaskets are engineered to deliver dependable sealing performance for technicians and owners who need a direct-fit replacement for distributor mounting service. The 72222 part number is a practical choice when addressing oil seepage or seal wear at the distributor base.

The same sealing style also appears in applications such as 1986-1991 Buick LeSabre and 1986-1990 Oldsmobile 98.

Mahle’s gasket line is trusted by OEMs and technicians for sealing applications where fit and material consistency matter. If you are replacing a worn distributor seal on a Mazda Miata, Ford Escort, or similar application, Mahle 72222 provides an OE-style molded rubber solution.
