i was looking through the parts my dad had in the trunk of my 69’ Dart and came across these vintage Victor intake gaskets. I though it was pretty cool they were tin with neoprene China wall gaskets.

I've got a ton of those tin gaskets. IIRC they are not supposed to be used on an AL intake as the expansion coefficiant is different for AL and they are not as 'forgiving' as a fiber gasket...could be bunk but I seem to have retained that for some reason.
 
Not for use on aluminum intakes, yes it is true unless you like vacuum leaks and oil
sucked into the intake ports.

That’s good to know. I wasn’t going to use them, but maybe just hang them on the wall.
 
Cool and accurate dating posted above, because the same-port 360 (J-head) didn't arrive until '71. 273-318 and 340 by itself!! Nice!
