★ Original New Old Stock gasket for correct cooling system restoration. Paper construction as originally fitted to flathead-6 engines.
Application
This gasket is used on vehicles fitted with the 218 ci (3.6L) and 230 ci (3.8L) flathead-6 engines. This primarily concerns WWII Dodge WC series (1/2 ton, 3/4 ton and 1-1/2 ton 6x6 from 1941-1945), post-war Dodge Power Wagons (1946-1960s), and civilian Dodge/Fargo/Plymouth lorries from the same period.
Installation notes
The gasket is fitted between the water pump and bypass elbow. Ensure clean, flat mating surfaces free from old gasket material. No sealant required — the paper gasket forms a reliable seal when correctly fitted. Always replace during water pump maintenance to prevent leakage.
Compatibility
Only for vehicles fitted with the Dodge 218 or 230 flathead-6 engine. Not suitable for later engines with different cooling system configurations. Note: the water distribution tube in the block must be in good condition for optimal cooling system operation.
Historical context
The 218 and 230 flathead-6 engines powered countless WWII Dodge military vehicles and remained in production well into the 1960s for civilian Power Wagons. The bypass system ensures faster warm-up and prevents thermal shock to the engine.
