1978-86 Rochester Fuel Filter Seal

[BadBowtie]

How is it that my local Autozone, O'Reilly, and Advance Auto Parts stores sell the stock fuel filter, but never heard of the fuel filter housing/fitting seal?? I am talking about that 1" round, hard, plastic seal that clips onto the ends of the threads. All Rochesters have them. This is supposed to be a onetime use seal and replaced at every fuel filter change. It's been 30 years since I messed with a quadrajet carburetor, but I would SWEAR this seal used to always come with the serviceable filter back then??? #327 in the GM parts catalog photo....

No gasket did not come with filters. Use to save serviceable ones from carb rebuilds. Really if not obviously damaged they are re-usable.

Hmmmmm..... So you are saying I'm getting too old?? Hahaha

I always reused them back in the 60's.. Never had a problem with leaks...

Does anyone have a part number for this seal? I know it's fairly generic and have seen it several times but dang I need one and can't find it
