Oil Pan Gasket Question

Coolvibes said

Did the front oil pan gaskets change on the 273? On my '65 273, the front rubber gasket seems to have little fingers or tabs that go through the oil pan to secure the gasket. I don't see those on the OP first pic.

Yes, they changed the gaskets for the front and rear in late 60's or 1970 for sure...

The 60's style pan takes a gasket with 6 tabs/nipples, where the later one only has 2 tabs/nipples and a large flange on both sides...

The one in the first pic is the later style...
