Anyone know where I can locate some good quality intake manifold gaskets for my 455 olds. Thanks for any and all help.

Whatever you do, don't use the "turkey tray" gasket.
Here is a good, albeit expensive, source for Olds parts.
Mondello's (http://www.mondellotwister.com)

Thanks for the link. I did use the turkey tray and I thinkl I have water in the oil. Hope this solves the problem. Thanks again

That's the contact info for Rocket Science from the realoldspower.com board. He's an Olds fanatic/drag racer & will know what works and what won't. I just priced a whole ton of stuff for my 473 Olds with him, and his pricing is in line with Jegs.
Also, if you're wanting parts from Mondello, you may want to contact Cas on banderlog.com. He's got something you're gonna be interested in.

Had the same problem with my olds. I used the stupid turkey pan and ended up with water in my oil. Every one says that happens. I ordered a Mr Gasket intake set from Summit. Was about $15. They even look better. My mechanic like friend says not to use the rubber gaskets at the ends. Instead use the HiTemp Silicone. My 2cents worth!!!
