I bought mine from Ford. They asked me what was the date of manufacture, as I guess, there were some minor differences in the "early years." The cost was higher than a parts store, but, the part fit right, first time, no leak anymore. NOTE TO ALL: If the gasket is leaking, first check the bolts to see if they are tight. I had one that was loose, oh and that was where the leak was. My next door neighbour reminded me of that after I had changed it.
